I agree as long as it can be done without degrading the experience for everyone. Most importantly, it needs to be implemented by people with the knowledge of what is possible instead of a being designed by the bureau of wishful thinking.
- DanBC 7y agoAccessible design improves the experience for everyone. eg It's not just visually impaired people who hate fucking tiny fonts in light grey on a bright white background.
- jimktrains2 7y agoI'd argue that ada compliance in the real world is a boon for everyone. Especially for people with temporary disabilities, chronic pain, joint or muscle issues, the elderly, people with children, people will strollers, people with luggage, &c. Accessibility, in my experiences, is rarely at odds with aesthetics or degrades a person without disabilities experience. I cannot think of an example of the later, but I won't go as far as saying it never happens.
- DuskStar 7y agoAccessibility is great! As long as it doesn't end up with situations like MIT taking down a ton of old lecture videos because they didn't have the funds to add captions. There's a lot of real-world situations where mandating accessibility would result in closure. There's no way to make Angel's Landing [0] wheelchair accessible, for instance. (this is very common in the US's national parks, to the point that I'd bet that 3/4ths of them have at least one such trail/location) With situations like that, your choices are to keep it open for some people, or for no people. 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angels_Landing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angels_Landing
