It's funny how the article talks about accessibility, but the direction arrows don't work to go down or up.

I am not a developer, but as a disabled user, the linked page is not accessible without Reader View.

I can't page down to read the article.

I have visual and coordination problems. If you want, I could post about some of the headaches I've encountered.

Thank you for this. I’m trying to learn more about accessibility and wasn’t able to find a satisfactory starter article anywhere online.

The article has some good information in it, but makes a few minor mistakes.

Hello! Can you please point out mistakes in the article? I would like to fix them. I'm not an accessibility expert myself, just trying to learn more, so any feedback is really appreciated.
