# Jan Recap: 3-Part A11y Series, Agentic AI, and portfolio v1

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**](https://harshna-haswani.hashnode.dev/series/a11y-unlocking-the-16-percent) —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](https://blog.harshnahaswani.com/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](https://blog.harshnahaswani.com/the-science-of-sight-colors-fonts-and-the-ibm-standard)
    
* **Part 3:** [The Developer’s Audit for A11Y](https://harshna-haswani.hashnode.dev/the-developers-audit-for-a11y)

**🤖 Learning Log: Agentic AI (Overview)**

I’ve started a new learning track this month focused on [**Agentic AI** via IBM Learn](https://www.ibm.com/think/topics/ai-agents#7281535).

* **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**](http://www.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:

1. **ASCII Graphs Update:** I’m working on the next release for [ascii-graphs.vercel.app](https://ascii-graphs.vercel.app/). Expect some new features soon.
    
2. **Portfolio Update:** Some accessibility fixes and newsletter signup integration
    
3. **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.
    
4. **More Learning:** Continuing the Agentic AI deep dive.
    
5. **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!
