This is the most comprehensive recap of an accessibility meetup that I have ever read.

What a wonderful job dear @Nagavijay ... Simply superb 👍

You have captured the photos skillfully and updated them with arrows and accessibility icons passionately that shows your dedication.

I learned a lot from this meetup recap and this should serve as a good template for anyone to follow in the future when writing such reports.

This is definitely inspiring.
