People ask what we use for web accessibility.
Here’s the stack
- Equally AI — alerts, monitoring, source code checks
- axe-core — part of our CI/CD
- NVDA & VoiceOver — the baseline
- tota11y — quick visual debugging
- Notion — internal WCAG notes + checklists
- Loom — faster than writing long QA tickets
- Descript — captions/transcripts that don’t suck
- Slack — #accessibility is a real channel here
Let me know if you’re building your own stack. Always down to swap notes.
Remote work created unexpected ADA compliance obligations that most employers haven't considered.
If your digital workplace tools aren't accessible, that's potential ADA violation.
This includes:
- Video conferencing platforms
- Project management tools
- HR systems and payroll portals
- Document sharing and collaboration tools
- Internal websites and intranets
Smart employers are auditing internal tool accessibility with the same rigor they apply to customer-facing websites.
One of the biggest (and frankly, silly) misconceptions about web accessibility I've heard is...
That it makes websites look boring or limits creativity.
Some of the most beautiful, innovative websites are fully accessible.
Good accessibility is invisible to most users.
It's about the underlying structure and functionality, not the visual design.
When done right, accessible design often looks cleaner and more elegant than inaccessible alternatives.
Make your websites accessible today.
@Richard_Littler Honestly, “legitimate interest” is one of the most weaponized phrases on the internet. It’s legal-speak for “we’re going to track you anyway.” No one reads 2,000 vendor lists—they know that. That’s the point.
Worse, most cookie modals aren’t even keyboard-accessible or screen reader friendly. So not only are users being manipulated, but disabled users are often literally blocked from making informed choices. That’s not consent. It’s exploitation with a legal wrapper.
What happens when all the macro signals turn green?
→ $600B investment from Saudi into U.S. tech and defense
→ Manufacturing hubs reopening across the Rust Belt
→ Clean energy breakthroughs now powering 50% of the Midwest grid
→ Tariff protections and job booms converging
→ Broadband expansion connecting 20M more households
This is a signal to rethink:
– Where you build
– Who you hire
– How fast you move
Watch closely, founders. The next wave is already forming.
@krautdragon This is so upsetting. I really hope your family member is okay.
Just a reminder to anyone managing hospital or clinic websites: make sure your emergency services are clearly listed, structured, and updated in plain text. AI scrapes whatever it finds. If you don’t give it clear, current data, it will guess and that can be disastrous.
The responsibility for making your websites and its content as current, correct and accessible as it can be lies with you, the owner.
"Why does it say the hospital is equipped for stroke emergency? We were there. They denied!"
"Maybe you should contact them that their website is wrong. This is dangerous."
"It wasn't on their website..."
*starts googling a specific question*
"Weird now it says no instead of yes."
I go to take a look and realise with horror, yes: Google AI summary.
Google AI summary made my parents-in-law visit the wrong, unequipped hospital for a potential stroke emergency. 🙃
What’s the difference between accessibility and usability?
Accessibility is about whether people, including those with disabilities, can use your product at all.
Usability is about how easily and pleasantly they can use it.
A website can be usable for most and completely unusable for someone using a screen reader or keyboard.
Real usability includes accessibility.
Anything less is just good UX for some.
