Wow. Someone raises millions for a Twitter alternative (Post.news) and says he’s “Not focused on accessibility.” You mean you ARE focused on exclusion? On ignoring the security and privacy of disabled people (yes- accessibility is privacy and security) Accessibility is a civil right. You can’t “let everyone in” and THEN do accessibility because accessibility IS the door. C’mon Noam Bardin do better H/t @blakereid #a11y post.news/article/2I8KY7PphGpE…

Why are we not working on... / Post.

Going through the posts this morning, seeing lots of feature requests and questions about our priorities, I thought I would share what we are focused on and why we are making certain decisions.

#a11y @Blake E. Reid has moved!

While many are praising him for his transparency, it reveals a major problem and hurdle with building accessible products. Not to mention the ableism in stating several times, the need to "let everyone in" while choosing not to make sure the application is accessible. Statements like "Our number one focus is letting in the 300K+ users on our waitlist" assume that none of those people have a disability and/or all use technology in the same way.

Here's post.news's founder Noam Bardin, declaring in the same breath "we are not focused on . . . accessibility" and "We want to do it all but first, let's get everyone in." In other words, "everyone" does not include people with disabilities. This kind of discrimination is not uncommon from tech companies, but it's a pretty unusual for a founder to state it this explicitly. #a11y must be an MVP expectation for digital startups.

Fascinating to think through #Mastodon & #Whiteness within this #TechPolicyPress #Podcast featuring @shengokai
techpolicy.press/the-whiteness…

I hand't thought of the RT as part of a call/response culture.

My main concern with the piece is that we cannot control whether or not Twitter implodes. Monopolies are inherently fragile & we know it is being run by a benevolent dictator.

Twitter had a good run. We have to adapt. That means building in better means to protect marginalized users. #a11y

"Regardless of what accessibility conformance level you target, do not arbitrarily open links in a new window or tab. If you are required to do so anyway, inform users in visible text." adrianroselli.com/2020/02/link… via @aardrian #UIDesign #IXD #a11y #links #wcag #tips

Link Targets and 3.2.5

TL;DR: Regardless of what accessibility conformance level you target, do not arbitrarily open links in a new window or tab. If you are required to do so anyway, inform users in visible text.

Just found out that the open source Python library for converting webpages to PDF, Weasyprint, has recently added experimental support for creating tagged PDFs that conform with PDF/UA:
weasyprint.org/

This is really exciting as there aren’t many open source options for doing this. I’m going to have a play and try creating an @eleventy plugin for this!

Would love thoughts on how to improve the #SVG social media icons here (aside from deleting the Twitter link) codepen.io/mgifford-the-typesc…

We really need to make it easier for people to control social media icons and style them to meet their site. This really should be easy, accessible and susainable.

@Marco Old toot, but... there's now also MathCAT, which is open source and being written by Neil Soiffer (who implemented MathPlayer #a11y) to replace MathPlayer. There's an #NVDASR add-on already, and honestly, it's compact enough that I could see NVDA maybe just bundling it one day. The advantage over SRE is that it's written in Rust, so it's much smaller, probably faster and doesn't require a JS engine. addons.nvda-project.org/addons…

Just learned about this really cool theme park in Texas specifically designed for kids with disabilities. Apparently this guy was having tons of trouble finding a theme park able to accommodate his daughter Morgan who has multiple disabilities. Eventually, he soled his successful business and spent $50,000,000 to build his own.
It's got 25 different attractions, tons of events, thousands of positive reviews ETC.
