Accessibility is only not a concern for internal custom tools if you're certain you're not going to hire anybody with a disability that requires those accessibility features. (You shouldn't be certain of this, because it means you're probably breaking the law.)
- mort96 3y agoThis is kind of a kinda ridiculous argument. You're not gonna hire a blind level designer or blind character artist.
- djur 3y agoI don't see any reason you couldn't hire a blind level designer, but sure, there may be some subset of "internal tools" that you can make that assumption for. But the topic wasn't "internal tools for visual artists", and a lot of workplaces have internal tools that are inappropriately and unjustifiably inaccessible.
- jakelazaroff 3y agoAccessibility is one (important) consideration but it's true that tools with a small, known subset of users can afford to ignore some constraints. For example, if you're a small American company, your internal tools might not need to support right-to-left languages.
