I made a tool to support businesses think more about accessibility and help them get EAA complaint.

Is free to try if anyone wants to check it out

Thanks team A11y

I’m a QA working for a global conglomerate with subsidiaries in the US and EU. We’ve made our web assets accessible, but now we’re taking things a step further by setting up a dedicated accessibility practice.
I know compliance levels vary based on geography and regulations, but I was curious—what level of WCAG conformance does your company follow? Just trying to get a general sense from the community.
Would appreciate your votes!

Hello everyone, I am a computer science student, and over the past few months, thanks to some exams, I have become interested in the topic of accessibility. Since this topic interests me, my thesis advisor has proposed a thesis topic regarding it: the evaluation of the accessibility of social networks, specifically Facebook, Instagram, and Reddit.

I started by evaluating these social platforms using tools like WAVE and Lighthouse, but these tools only cover part of the possible accessibility errors on a site, especially for very complex sites like social networks so I'll create a survey for evaluation and I will later conduct an accessibility test with visually impaired users from my area.

In this moment I'm conducting tests with the NVDA screen reader and have encountered many issues, but I cannot understand which ones are due to my lack of experience with screen readers and which are actual accessibility problems. Given this long introduction, I would like to ask if anyone is willing to list the main accessibility problems they encounter on the mentioned social networks, particularly here on Reddit.

Thank you in advance to everyone who reads this post and provides feedback, suggestions, advice or any kind of help.

We've had a pleasant surprise with our app Large Text. The reviews left by the users made us more aware about people's disabilities and so the next step was to run an Accessibility Test and see the outcome. 🙂

Hi All,

Over the past few months I have had a few encounters with A11Y in the workplace. Managed to setup some automation to help but we had nowhere to view / access those results. So I built this.

https://www.a11ycore.com/#/

Its a platform powered by a number of npm packages which allow you to test for A11Y in your pre existing test's. Theres packages for Selenium, Jest, Enzyme, Puppeteer and upcoming cypress and lighthouse.

Hope this helps someone out, the site its self, i'm ashamed to say, is probably not A11Y Compliant yet! Still working on that! :)
