SigmundurApplications without a dark mode theme have a <a href="https://radikal.social/tags/accessibilty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibilty</a> issue.My <a href="https://radikal.social/tags/migraines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#migraines</a> are sensitive to light, so I need to reduce the brightness of everything during a migraine. There are many apps which become unusable (literally physically painful to use) because they don't have a dark mode (looking at you native mobile <a href="https://radikal.social/tags/PixelFed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PixelFed</a> app).

Nicole HennigAfter Allison Pomeroy lost most of her vision two years ago, her husband began reading menus, signage and other text out loud to her.

Johanna JaniszewskiIn our next title, which was developed in another engine, and in which we had to develop our own dialog system, we added the option to go back in the dialog 🥳 Have you ever wanted to implement an <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/accessibilty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibilty</a> feature but were not able to do so? Let me know, I am curious! 🧵 3/3

accessaustonThis journal article explores UDL strategies in a higher education learning environment by interviewing faculty members. The findings suggest that it is very important for faculty and instructional designers to cultivate partnerships and standardize UDL implementation across courses. Faculty members also expressed being resistant to UDL strategies because of limited, time, and institutional priorities, and reliance on an accommodations-based model. <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/accessibilty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibilty</a> <a href="https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1211170" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1211170</a>

Den McHenryOne final oddity: using spatial navigation (spatnav) in Vivaldi triggers an additional focus indicator specific to spatnav, which is a red box-shadow. This persists on focus if you switch to tab navigation, but if you click away and only use tab navigation, the spat nav style disappears. <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/vivaldi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vivaldi</a> <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/accessibilty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibilty</a> I am not sold on spatial navigation.

It’s the fundamental truism in accessibility.It’s the true challenge in putting accessibility principles into practice.Accessibility in UI really means that not only diverse presets are offered but DIY UI personalization is possible with colour palettes, contrast, fonts and font sizes, spacing etc.<a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#a11y</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Accessibilty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Accessibilty</a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/Tangerine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tangerine</a>

Adrian RoselliYou may know Allyant (which I pronounce “alley ant”) is the combined form of CommonLook, TBase, and Accessible360.You may also now Allyable (which I pronounce “snake oil”) is an <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/overlay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#overlay</a> vendor.Apparently Allyable (overlay) was spamming folks on the <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/DisabilityIN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DisabilityIN</a> conference app. This resulted in folks regularly visiting the Allyant (combined company) booth thinking it was Allyable (overlay).<a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/accessibilty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibilty</a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#a11y</a> There are lessons here.
