I've given talks at accessibility conferences, such as this talk about gaming with aphantasia
Around a year ago, I managed to dig up some information on why a song in Life is Strange: True Colours wasn't subtitled, resulting in an accessibility issue for deaf players.

During Global Accessibility Awareness Week this year, I was invited to give a talk for Eidos Montreal / Square Enix West, all about how disabilities often intersect, and needs can overlap in unexpected ways Devs need to consider.

My main piece of regular work is a series called Access-Ability.

Good news for the @Mastodon #iOS app‘s #VoiceOver support. @jedfox has been on a roll these last few days and has added some really awesome #accessibility related pull requests to the public repository. Hope they all get merged soon and new TestFlight builds be made available so we can test them out before release. Among the fixes is the compose button, custom actions, better labels in the compose screen, and more.
Hope @Gargron or @zeitschlag can approve and merge them soon. #a11y

Hey @Tutanota I noticed that after I click on "Show more" to see the email headers, the text still says "Show more" instead of "Show less". The only difference is a small arrow changing its direction.
Can you fix this #accessibility issue please?
Could you please remember captioning your images?
Some instances offer automatic #OCR which can help grab any text in your image, though proofreading is still important. You can also follow @PleaseCaption to be reminded whenever you post an image without captioning it.

In #389 it was reported that text editors were not accessible yet. Given that such a central piece of the software it not accessible by screen readers (and spell checkers for the matter) yet, it's very likely that there are other UI roadblocks, too.Codeberg.org
So back in 2020 Codeberg asked for help from the community to help them with #accessibility issues. They need some help in house as the current solution helps them manage the spam that would overwhelm signups, but their moderation team is small. CAPTCHAs aren't very accessible and they would like some help to fix this. #a11y Can anyone help? The linked toot is their request for help.

Likely this will not be an open source thing, but I want to mention this service anyway for those you using #screenreader software and have related #a11y #accessibility needs.
Project Naptha looks to be a service that can generate descriptive texts for any image.
It is discussed on Hacker News now at:

what are good mastodon clients to use for folks who need to use screen readers?
Reasonable Colors is an open-source colour system for making accessible colour palettes.
It uses an intuitive system of shades to help you select colours which meet the appropriate WCAG contrast rating, even if you're mixing and matching base colours:
