Why I promote fellow accessibility specialists
There is no competition in accessibility
06.01.2024
This was a post I wrote on LinkedIn, after someone quite aggressively asked why I promote my fellow accessibility specialists and advocates.

* Attention – Referral links
Some links on this page are referral links, which means I may earn a modest commission if you decide to subscribe or make a purchase, at no extra cost to you. I only recommend products I use extensively and genuinely believe in. They’re worth the attention, and I love creating content around them. Curious about the second reason why I do this? I back open-source developers with the proceeds. Read the full story in my article: ‘Why I have affiliate links on my site – full disclosure‘.
And about Greyd.Suite in particular: Why I joined the Greyd.Suite Creator Program, and why you should consider it too
