Sorry for the late reply, but this condemning tone just really, really gets old. This is a frigging open source project. Take it or leave it. If you want something, you send a frigging patch. Or you ask nicely.

When literally the first sentence of the project description mentions an "accessible web", I think it's perfectly acceptable to have a condemning tone. > ORY is a company building and maintaining developer tools for a safer, more accessible web.

  It also says "Please Note: ORY Editor is pre-release" and while we're commited to improve the experience for everyone, this tone definitely doesn't motivate us.

  The definition of "accessible" could be pretty broad. It doesn't have to mean what you have in mind. As I see it, is this WYSIWYG editor making the web more accessible to laypeople who don't know HTML, CSS, etc.? Definitely.

    > The definition of "accessible" could be pretty broad. Only if you are trying to play word games. Try googling that exact phrase - accessible web - and see if there are any results that support your point.

      The tag line did not contain that exact phrase. It said "make the web accessible". Try googling "accessible definition"? Also, they seem to have since changed it to "easy to use", so the intention is clear. If you want to be offended by their use of the original meaning of "accessible", by all means. EDIT: Okay I retract the "did not contain that exact phrase" part; I thought you were talking about their company's tag line. Anyway, feel free to be mad at the word choice.

I read my comment again and realized that I could have been mistaken for being affiliated to the project. To be clear, I am not. I'm just one open source maintainer and contributor who gets upset when I (or other amazing people) put out work for free and then am somehow blamed for not doing this or that.
