Hi! I am the #a11yParrot. 🦜👋
If a click loads a new page or view, use a link (`<a>`).
If a click changes something on the same page, use a `<button>`.
Repost this every time you have to explain links vs buttons.
(I will until the end of time).

@MoritzGlantz could need a REST-Parrot. Seriously. Lately almost everyone seems to just use POST for everything and return HTTP 200 on principle. 200 - Wrong password 200 - Resource not found 200 - Bad Gateway 😩

@MoritzGlantz but submit buttons generally redirect to another page, and tables of contents are same-page links… so unfortunately that isn't so simple, am I wrong? #Accessibility

@MoritzGlantz I can't think of anything less accessible than writing accessibility as a11y....
