Hi there,

I've been building a threadverse web app, "PieFed", for the last few months and recently put a bit of effort into making it more accessible. It is almost WCAG 2.1 AA compliant now.

However I have no lived experience of using the web with disability so any feedback in this area is most welcome. Please give it a try at https://piefed.social and let me know what you think, from an accessibility perspective.

Thanks!

Some things I've done recently:

  • Ensure clickable elements are large, aiming for 44px by 44px
  • aria-label everywhere
  • image alt text
  • aria roles on things
  • skip to content link at the top
  • keyboard shortcuts - same keys as reddit
  • high contrast colors
