@jannespeters @spotifypodcasts Lemme guess: the shows in your recos are mostly German language? Or you’re seeing untranslated copy around the recommendations?

Hi Twitter. I need your help. A few years ago, I had a freak accident that sent me into catastrophic kidney failure. I've been struggling to find a kidney donor ever since. I'm in dire need of a type O+/- kidney and ask that you please share my story. #kidneyfordevon 🧵👇

@data_jackalope @RobertJanezic @disco_lu @databiscuits Aware of the imperfect nature of perceptual color contrast measures. But curious: in this case, do y'all feel this effect is down to the color? Or potentially the other typographic changes (less tracking, lowercasing)?

In time for #GAAD, some more technical details behind the changes. Accessibility, Localization, UX Writing, Brand thinking and a breath of fresh air, all in a happy mix. spotify.design/article/better…

A11y can be great for aesthetics, and great for business.

Love to see companies like Spotify invest in more accessible products *AND* talk about doing it, and not just in their design blog. Accessibility improves the experience for everyone, and that is also good for the business. Great job @spotifydesign! newsroom.spotify.com/2021-05-18/3-u…

Proud of the team for the thorough work here. Ensuring 100% compliant color contrast even when brand colors are in the mix isn't always easy. And making sure all UI adapts to huge text is no small matter. newsroom.spotify.com/2021-05-18/3-u…

Designing for Android 🤖📱 I've spent too many hours over the years cross-referencing websites, taking screenshots on different devices, looking at internal data, and searching for documentation in order to understand what screens to design for. Here's what I've learnt [1/12]
