LifeLynx posted:That's what I'm worried about, that I'll miss some easy to overlook thing. I get the same anxiety with e-commerce sites; very easy to mislabel a shipping zone or whatever and throw off all the expected profits. I think that'll depend on who made the request and why, and whether budget for it was included in the request. Like if you're running a .gov site where it's mandated by regulation it obviously becomes a different priority than if you're running a grocery store (lol Winn-Dixie). The other thing to remember is that WCAG are guidelines but not actually in the corpus of the ADA act, and it's only been recent case law that has referenced them. So while WCAG 2.1 AA = probably compliant with ADA this isn't enshrined in law anywhere. This means the certainty you desire of "do (x) and be covered" might not exist.

Inkscape; Surprisingly good! Replaces Illustrator much better than Gimp replaces Photoshop. Paint.net can output SVG too I think with a plugin, but I don't know good it is at the convert from bitmap scenario.

Have no idea how naive the implementation is but Inkscape supports command line batching: https://inkscape.org/~Johannski/%E2%98%85inkscape-batch-convert-svgpdfeps-to-epspdfpng

tankadillo posted:I wish they would get on the ball with their Mac development. It’s absolutely abysmal there. The freaking hotkeys don’t even work right (like cmd+c doesn’t copy). My favorite glitch is that if you’re scrolling through the sidebar with all of the widgets, and if your cursor touches any input, it will “scroll” that input, moving sliders or making numbers in textboxes go up and down. Oh, and the UI is soooo laggy. The Windows interface definitely isn't perfect, but I'm comparing it to the utter disconnect experienced when moving from Photoshop to Gimp. Unlike that, you can generally figure things out in Inkscape if you know Illustrator though I've never tried the Mac version so I don't know how they differ. Twitchiness around the palette drawers is definitely a thing on Windows though.

kedo posted:As someone whose code is rarely touched by other people, I simultaneously crave and fear the review of a wise third party. I've been making a living coding things for a long time, but my impostor syndrome is strong. Yeah I'm in the same boat; most of my previous work was one man band infrastructure programming. I'm in a more collaborative environment now and have already survived some PR code reviews though. So far (knock wood) nobody has called anything out, though one was pulled because the solution (given to me by someone else) was deemed insufficient.

PT6A posted:Part of the problem with Wordpress is that people are using it for things that it was really never intended to do. It started off as a blog system, and it was decent at that, but at some point it was decided that it should be a basis for pretty much anything and everything, and as such it's now accumulated years and years of damage from people trying valiantly to hammer a multitude of square pegs into round holes. The best part is storing data in serialized array, and depending on the plugin, actual HTML content.

I've used tawk.to quite a bit, both paid and unpaid. Where it seemed to have the most impact is less on lead generation (though it did have an impact there) and more on support. This was white box ecommerce but quite a few basic questions would get asked/answered each day, and if your chat people are good that == sales, either by supporting returning customers, or impressing new customers to go with you simply because they were able to get an answer easily. That said about 1 in 10 were negative income questioners, e.g. spend more time getting answers and consuming rep time than their sale would be worth.
