About

ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) is a W3C technical specification that defines how to improve the accessibility of web content and applications, particularly those with dynamic interfaces and custom controls.

It provides a set of roles and properties that can be added to HTML to describe user interface elements, their relationships, and current states, enabling assistive technologies such as screen readers to interpret widgets, live updates, and complex interactions that are not natively accessible.

Twitter Cards are a metadata format used by X, originally Twitter, that enables links in posts to display rich previews with images, videos, and interactive media to increase engagement and traffic.

They are defined via specialized meta tags embedded in web pages, support multiple card types, and enable previews such as articles with images and descriptions, app install prompts, and embedded audio or video players with playback controls.
