"Insightful" is going to be subjective, but I would say it's insightful enough to be worth addressing, why not have separate websites for the different audience

"Insightful" is going to be subjective, but I would say it's insightful enough to be worth addressing, why not have separate websites for the different audiences, since they have different needs. The parent of my linked comment said it in a less trollish, not-obviously-false manner:
>My question is why use the web at all? Surely there's an easier way for a blind person to access an information or send data to an API than through an HTML web page.
Totally agree on the general importance of accessibility.
- mwcampbell 6y agoAh yes, the other question you quoted is much better. And in fact, when protocols/APIs for things like IM and social networks were more open, alternative clients were developed, including ones for blind people. (I developed one such client myself.) The important thing is having access to the same information and services. It's perhaps unfortunate that in most cases that has to be done through retrofitted access to the same UI that sighted people use.
