The biggest missed opportunity I've seen is when developers fail to use correct semantic HTML elements. If you have a button in your UI, use the <button> element! All too often we see people attaching click handlers to <span> and <div> elements or overriding the href attribute on an <a> link. When you use the correct semantic elements, you get a whole bunch of accessibility features built right in by default.
I'm a friendly non-developer from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife, our 2 cats, and greyhound. (he/him)
