Links Worth Sharing for Web Developers and Designers.
Hi there,
Last week, I have been learning the TensorFlow courses from Coursera to prepare for my upcoming Google TensorFlow Developer certificate exam.
Links worth sharing this week:
→ BGM/ Sound of Forest
https://timberfestival.org.uk/soundsoftheforest-soundmap/
We are collecting the sounds of woodlands and forests from all around the world, creating a growing soundmap bringing together aural tones and textures from the world’s woodlands.
→ BGM/ Sudo.fm
https://sudo.fm/
Another BGM, curated for developers.
→ Accessibility/ Making links easier to see and read by increasing the thickness

→ Accessibility/ From A Colourblind Designer To The World: Please Stop Using Red And Green Together
https://baselinehq.com/blog/colourblindness-information-ui-design-red-green-problems-tips-tricks.html
where red and green appear together, they usually look the same as one another — especially if the hues have high saturation and low value (or in lay terms, if they are bright)
where red and green appear in isolation, I often can’t tell what colour they are — again, this is more likely with bright hues
I’ll often mistake green midtones for brown (I used to love all my brown clothes until people told me that most things I buy are actually green...)
less often, I struggle to see the difference between purple and blue, and between yellow and green
about traffic lights, in the U.K. at least, red and amber look very similar, but green looks completely different — a kind of off-white — because the saturation is very different from the other two.
→ Accessibility/ Everyday Accessibility

Several tips for increasing the accessibility when using the digital world. This is for every one, not just for developers.

Thanks for sharing the accessibility links. They are helping me get a better understanding of accessibility. :)
