It’s really this thing that gets me.

Let’s say you’re on a big mission in the world. You think websites should be more accessible. Websites should work for anyone regardless of their disabilities. You also think the web right now is failing in this regard. There are far too many inaccessible websites existing and being created. You think that educating developers is great and that developers should make accessible websites, but that’s not doing enough.

@chriscoyier I hear you, man. The internet itself wasn't a bad idea, but the collision of the internet and capitalism has a way of bringing out the worst in both.

@chriscoyier also... if you sell it to individual users it has to work as an accessibility tool, or they won't tell the people they know to buy it as well.

If you sell it to companies to put on their website it only has to work as an "avoiding penalties by showing they are doing something about accessibility" tool. That, is a much lower bar
