<br />

This week we highlighted accessibility resources to help you make your sites
and applications usable by everyone.

We're continuing to roll out [Learn Accessibility](https://web.dev/learn/accessibility.md.txt), a
brand new course written by [Carie Fisher](https://twitter.com/cariefisher)
that will take you through the essentials for building accessible websites and
web apps.

We've had 3 community spotlights:

- [Melanie Sumner](https://web.dev/articles/community-highlights/melanie) told us about her journey into engineering, accessible design, Ember.js, and the importance of funding these efforts.
- [Olutimilehin Olushuyi](https://web.dev/articles/community-highlights/shuyi) told us about his move from the law to web development, building accessible community, and creating accessible layouts.
- [Albert Kim](https://web.dev/articles/community-highlights/albert-kim) told us about mental health awareness, building for invisible disabilities, the COGA Accessibility Community Group, and more practical wisdom.

## Watch us answer your questions

On Thursday, Alexandra White spoke with Carie Fisher and Melanie Sumner about
