Description
I have seen this again on https://github.com/CodeYourFuture/CYF-PD/blob/main/content/blocks/create-groups-for-react/readme.md
**Please stop writing links as [link] or [here] or [click here]**
I give this feedback fairly regularly. **Links must make sense out of context.** If someone is accessing your content with a screenreader or other linearised access device, they may be accessing a linkslist. When you use text like "here" and "link" what happens is the linkslist just reads out like this:
link, link, here, link, click here 🤦♀️
It also breaks tabbing through links. If someone is trying to tab to a specific link, and cannot _see where they are_ in the text, they can't locate themselves in the text as the link text is so completely devoid of information.
Please stop doing this. Thanks! 🙇♀️
