Channel Hub — meaningful links (avoid “click here”)
Live: demo meaningful-links-demo.html · note article-meaningful-links.html · hub channel-hub/
What shipped: A verification-first micro-demo + short practical note contrasting vague link text (“Click here”, “Read more”, “Here”) with descriptive links that still make sense when a screen-reader user opens a links list. Continues the Channel Hub a11y arc after text-scaling, focus-order, touch-targets, safe-areas, ARIA live, aria-keyshortcuts, and shortcuts-help + remap.
Why it matters: Link text that looks fine in a paragraph collapses into indistinguishable entries in assistive-tech link lists and many keyboard/rotor workflows. The demo makes the failure mode obvious and gives a copy-clean share path with no tracking.
