[Joe_Crawford] Thanks [Jo] - yeah, I've been changing lots of stuff around - including some caching layers which I overwrote. Thanks for reading seems okay now. Should be okay now. Sorry about that!
#
[Jo] yup works now!
#
[Jo] cant help but notice your handwriting here is a nice mix of print and cursive letters :°)
#
[Joe_Crawford] That’s my style :)

#
[Jo] not to complain but since we talked about it yesterday: don't know how to explain to people that accedsibility on a website isn't vibes based and there's actual rules about that
#
[Jo] 'i dont feel like this contrast is too low' well it is.
#
[Jo] this is regarding work not personal sites (dont wanna call anyone out) tho ppl should definitely look into that stuff too
#
[tantek] Agreed there are a bunch of minimum acceptability rules for accessibility that are a must follow kind of thing
#
[tantek] At HWC yesterday I was trying to convey that there are creative opportunities to go beyond the minimum and provide an even more equivalent experience, and that may take some sense of vibes
#
[tantek] [Jo] for explaining the rules to people I tend to cite WCAG or sometimes articles by a11y experts who provide clear explanation of various rules. Font size, foreground bg contrast, color palette etc
#
[Jo] yeah!¡
#
[Jo] its really a "think about this before everything else" thing too (i feel like a lot of people think accessibility is just a dev thing because they think the only thing affected are screen readers when there's so much more to it)
#
[Jo] if you only start to think about accessibility once the design is done you're usually kinda fucked

#
[tantek] what is accessibility
#
Loqi Accessibility is key to designing web sites in an inclusive manner, lowering barriers to information, interaction, and communication, to make the web accessible to people with disabilities, and sometimes a literal site path (/accessibility) for a website accessibility statement; the IndieWeb community encourages both accessible events & personal sites https://indieweb.org/accessibility
#
[tantek] ^ maybe worth adding some more resources there? (like that Heydon post)
