One of my many pet peeves is people who build websites who claim that accessibility limits their creativity. It doesn’t. It’s a cop-out of an excuse to continue excluding people.

For The Verge's Design series, I wrote about my personal experience living with colorblindness, how it's widely misunderstood by people without color vision deficiency, and ways to design for it. theverge.com/23650428/colorb…

Hello 👋 Version 2 of, well, me, is now on the App Store! New: - Toggle the CVD filter on and off to quickly switch between normal and CVD simulation. Suggested by @DaltonLens - Help screen that explains the technical terms. Suggested by @kmi_edu #1in12boys #1in200girls

Seriously folks, Chrome AND safari. I’ve cleared all cookies and nothing fixes this
We, as developers, need to champion accessibility to our teams and bosses. Those whose focus on the bottom line will always feel compelled to cut additional costs, and the "edge case" of treating that 1 in 12, or 1 in 20, or 1 in 50 user is seen as an unjustified expense
📣 I'm hearing the #WWDC22 accessibility labs are quieter than normal, so if you apply for a spot you're almost guaranteed to get one. This is your chance to ask anything about accessibility to help make your apps better – show them your work! You never know where it might go 🚀

Because it takes time to get right in the app, and they have investors to answer to And they're watching money leaving their accounts every month and they need to stay afloat It's a difficult balance to strike, but we need to champion those in need
Updated my CV and LinkedIn profile today to add an end date to my time at @bloom_life I leave with relationships that are with great friends, not co-workers My next job has some big shoes to fill! PS looking for a new challenge, no pressure! 😃

That's some accessibility-unfriendly UI right there Ouch
Wasn't expecting, 20 minutes into my @transavia flight, to hear masks were now optional and for everyone around me to take them off. Direct contradiction with their website guidelines. Last @transavia flight for me

I’ve spent good parts of my day wandering the house looking at it through the eyes of my colourblind son. MySight was suggested to me after I shared about him watching the rugby. Every teacher should look at their classroom through this lens. #1in12boys

This app would have been a lot harder to make if it wasn’t for so many educational resources, so shout outs are richly deserved. Thanks to @twostraws @MengTo @johnsundell @DaltonLens and, again, @colourblindorg for all the help they gave me without me ever having to ask 🙂

And if you're wondering where I got that eyeball image from, it's my own eye. That's how far I'll go to get an app out 😎
