1/ I’m an Israeli academic. My community is too silent about the ongoing war in Gaza. Here is how I see things based on reading hundreds of articles and watching thousands of videos and images about the war. This tweet chain contains my conclusions as a sort of executive summary.

Just days after the CDC weakened its COVID isolation guidelines, the White House is suspending its free home rapid test program. This week is your last chance to order free COVID rapid tests here: special.usps.com/testkits

Check out this video for Personal Voice and Live Speech that my team worked on. These #accessibility features on iPhone, Mac and Apple Watch let you continue to communicate in a voice that sounds like you if you ever lose your ability to speak. youtube.com/watch?v=ra9I0HSc…

Super excited about Apple's new design guidelines for making charts 📊. We have one page on best practices for charts and one page for components of charts. And of course, accessibility is a core consideration across all of these guidelines.
Human Interface Guidelines for Charts are here! We've been working on these pages for a bit—hope you find them useful 📊🥳 Patterns page: developer.apple.com/design/h… Components page: developer.apple.com/design/h…

I’m proud of how we’ve integrated accessibility as an integral part of these guidelines on chart design. Kudos to @clb5590, @FrankElavsky, and others for contributing!

My friend @lenary made a 20 second summary of our talk:
Replying to @ldgreef
Once you’ve designed the app’s experience with charts, what about designing a chart itself? What strategies can you use to design your chart to be focused, approachable, and accessible? @halden_lin and I walk you through it “Design an effective chart” developer.apple.com/videos/p…

Rounding out the week! The amazing @donghaoren takes a deep dive into Swift Charts. Learn about the philosophy of the framework and the customization it enables. There are some awesome charts in this talk, “Swift Charts: Raise the bar”! #WWDC22 developer.apple.com/videos/p…

I've watched all four Swift Charts videos now, and it's a thing of beauty – it somehow manages to top SwiftUI 4 as my favorite thing from #WWDC22 🤯 I'm still trying to figure out if *Mark has an AnyLayout counterpart, but otherwise this is a very special framework indeed.

I loved working with @halden_lin on this talk! For reasons that become clear in the talk, it also convinced me to eat pancakes for breakfast the day after we recorded 🥞
It’s charts week for me! In “Design an effective chart” at #WWDC22 , @ldgreef and I walk through the process of designing a chart that is focused, approachable, and accessible for everyone. developer.apple.com/videos/p…

I love this talk. @feltron’s visuals are beautiful and he introduces meaningful concepts I haven’t seen anyone else cover before.
How can you use charts to create an engaging and empowering app experience for people? @feltron dives into it in “Design app experiences with charts”. So fun. The ideas here are inspiring—definitely geeked out watching him put this together. #WWDC22 developer.apple.com/videos/p…

Hey Developers, you can join #WWDC22 watch parties and meet the presenters to ask Q&A in our Digital Lounge! The ones for chart design are happening later today. developer.apple.com/wwdc22/d…

Finally, want to learn more about Audio Graphs? While Swift Charts automatically implements a version, if you want to create your own, see a talk from last year’s #WWDC21 Preston introduces Audio Graph's API in “Bring accessibility to charts in your app” developer.apple.com/videos/p…

I’m so proud of what we’ve accomplished and what we’re sharing with the world. It’s such a blessing to work with these rockstars — both the folks featured in these videos, and people off screen.
