Many apps are inaccessible for blind/VI people. Developers usually have to implement #Accessibility features from scratch for each platform they develop on, which can scare them away. The good folks over @accesskit are trying to change that with their #Foss project, #AccessKit. Their goal is to create a cross-platform solution for accessibility that only has to be implemented once. I'm posting this to spread the word. Let's help them reach their goals! accesskit.dev/ #Blind #A11Y

Just because someone claims a _thing_ is “accessible” does not make it so.

Failing WCAG, the bare minimum, can be confirmed with a quick automated check: nested interactives (1.3.1/4.1.2), not dismissable (1.4.13), hidden items get focus (2.4.7), state not conveyed (4.1.2), heading mismatch (1.3.1/2.4.6).

This demonstrates why CSS-only widgets are inaccessible: adrianroselli.com/2023/03/css-…
