Jan Recap: 3-Part A11y Series, Agentic AI, and portfolio v1
The Harshna Haswani Newsletter | Issue #1
Welcome to the first edition of my newsletter! January was a mix of shipping content and starting new learning paths. I wrapped up a writing project on Accessibility, spent time understanding the landscape of Agentic AI, and continued polishing my technical notes from last year.
Here is the detailed breakdown of my January.
✅ Published:
The Web Accessibility Series I spent a good chunk of January writing. I’m happy to share that one of my major works—a 3-part series on Web Accessibility —is now live. What started as a simple refresher on browser dev tools became a deeper dig into the engineering side of inclusion.
Part 1: The Invisible Loss: Why Your Site is Losing 16% of Its Traffic at the Door
Part 2: The Science of Sight: Colors, Fonts, and the IBM Standard
Part 3: The Developer’s Audit for A11Y
🤖 Learning Log: Agentic AI (Overview)
I’ve started a new learning track this month focused on Agentic AI via IBM Learn.
Current Status: January was all about the overview—understanding the high-level concepts of how agents differ from standard LLMs.
The Plan: I’m still reading through the materials. Over February, I plan to finish the introduction part.
🧹 Housekeeping: Polishing the Archive Back in October 2025, I launched v0.5 of harshnahaswani.com. This month, I focused on cleaning up the content. I had some raw technical notes. I converted 9 of them into structured blog posts (excluding the 3 part A11Y series).
👀 Looking Forward to February I have some specific releases and posts lined up for next month:
ASCII Graphs Update: I’m working on the next release for ascii-graphs.vercel.app. Expect some new features soon.
Portfolio Update: Some accessibility fixes and newsletter signup integration
Design Deep Dive: I’m writing a "meta" blog post about the style selection for my portfolio—breaking down why I chose this specific aesthetic and the design decisions behind it.
More Learning: Continuing the Agentic AI deep dive.
Housekeeping: At least 2 more blogs from my technical notes.
I love feedback. I would really appreciate it if you drop a comment below or send me a mail!
Thanks for reading!
