The Internet is an excellent place where everyone can find interesting materials. Unfortunately, sometimes we forget some people cannot use it the same way as most of us – e.g., people with vision, motion, or cognitive disabilities. Why is accessibility so unpopular among developers? I believe it’s not because of bad will – we often don’t understand our users’ problems. It’s why I want to show some tricks to understand better users with disabilities, talk about the most popular mistakes (and fixes for them), and discuss improvements you can include in your development process to avoid accessibility problems in the future.
