What Topics Does the Blog on moritzglantz.de Cover?

Updated

The blog on moritzglantz.de covers web accessibility and UX engineering, with posts that fall into three broad areas: accessibility law and practice, practical payment and QR-code tools, and self-built apps and development projects. It is written by Moritz Glantz, a UX engineer and accessibility specialist based in Karlsruhe, Germany, who describes over 20 years of experience building accessible digital products for the web. Posts are listed in reverse-chronological order, and a full archive is available through the "All blog posts" link.

Accessibility law and practice

The clearest example in the current post list is a German-language piece on the Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (Accessibility Strengthening Act), dated 27.07.2026, which asks whether the law has actually achieved anything. This tells you the blog is willing to go beyond technical how-tos and examine whether accessibility regulation is producing real-world results.

If you follow accessibility compliance in Germany or the EU, this is the category to watch. The site itself is framed around accessibility as a discipline, not a side interest, so expect this thread to continue.

Payment and QR-code tools

A second recurring theme is small utilities that remove friction from everyday tasks. The post "Girocodr – Payment QR Codes Without Typing IBANs" (05.08.2026) describes creating QR codes for quick IBAN transfers to a bank account, so you can pay without manually entering a long account number.

This fits a pattern visible elsewhere on the site: the project list includes a tracking-free QR-code generator alongside the accessibility cheatsheet and WCAG color contrast tester. The blog appears to be where the reasoning behind these tools gets written up.

Self-built apps and development projects

The third category is personal software projects. "Streamicorn: A PeerTube Apple TV App" (16.05.2026) covers an app for watching videos from selected PeerTube instances, searching videos, and resuming videos you already started.

This is useful if you are interested in the fediverse, PeerTube, or building for Apple TV — the post documents a real project rather than a generic tutorial.

Archive "All blog posts" link for the complete list
Language Mixed — the accessibility law post is in German, others in English
Scope Accessibility, UX engineering, tools, and side projects

One practical caveat: because posts mix German and English, you may need to skim titles rather than assume a single language throughout.

Who this blog is for

  • Accessibility practitioners who want commentary on German accessibility law and hands-on resources like a WCAG color contrast tester.
  • Developers interested in small, self-contained tools and apps, from QR-code generators to a PeerTube client.
  • Readers evaluating Moritz Glantz's work — the blog doubles as a portfolio, with a "Project Highlights" section and a "Work with me" path on the start page.

If your interest is specifically in accessibility regulation, start with the Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz post. If you want to see the engineering side, the Girocodr and Streamicorn write-ups are the most concrete examples currently listed.
