The very community who needs this, is inclined to ask first sue second.
The ADA exists and is a powerful law. If you are willing to put in the work, generally you're going to get a pass.
I wrote a bunch of accessibility guides (with a lawyer looking over my shoulder) around 2000 for a F500. I have since worked with blind users to add accessibility to apps. If someone is asking, and you can help them do it. You will have a massive advocate for what ever it is your doing!
- aftbit 3y agoYeah for a decent period of time, the accessibility of Dropbox's desktop app was entirely dependent on one passionate blind forum user who called us out (politely!) every time we messed something up. It was a great, productive relationship that led to us continuing to release test builds on the forums for longer than we would otherwise have done so.
