- jnbiche 10y agoYeah, it's hilarious but photosensitive epileptics should beware before fiddling with the slider at the bottom. He could have left off that last one ("hardest sale") and avoided the issue, but I think most people aren't aware of the issue.
- seagreen 10y agoI read this comment before looking at the site, but I still wasn't expecting that. It's bad. SUDEP is a thing. Come on people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_unexpected_death_in_epilepsy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_unexpected_death_in_epi...

- jdietrich 10y agoThere are W3C recommendations on photosensitive epilepsy; the key recommendation is to keep the flash rate of any large area of the screen below 3Hz. This recommendation follows broadcast television standards. The flash rate on this site is 2Hz, so it poses a relatively low risk of triggering PSE. https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#general-thresholddef https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#general-thresholddef
- jnbiche 10y agoThanks for that. I'm clearly bad at estimating the frequency, since I thought it was probably below the threshold recommended. Glad to know I was wrong.
- ge96 10y agoHaha concerns of accessibility? No... that's like an after thought same with using Aria, good contrast, tab-index, no-script option, etc...
