" Accessibility should be considered from the start when designing and developing apps and websites." is a thing we hear often. It's true that that makes a lot of things a LOT easier. And yet, I see literally almost no popular app or service that takes it to heart. A shame.

I agree with this entire thread, especially the action part.

Don’t get me wrong. Awareness is great. But we’ve been doing awareness now for I don’t know how many years or even decades, and it just seems to me that for every step forward we take, there are six more going backwards.

If awareness doesn’t become actuion, it’s just feel-good talk. And I’m starting to wonder if all the talk being generated around accessibility isn’t getting to a point where we’re seeing diminishing returns.
