Many of us (developers) live with little to no disabilities. But can you imagine watching a movie without sound, captions, or subtitles? Or browsin...

Don't do that unless describing the image is important. For decorative images or images which only serve to duplicate text content, add an empty attribute like
alt=""so screen readers won't read the same thing out more than once.For instance, in your post, a reader will announce, "Always apply alt text to images. Add alt text to images" which doesn't help anyone!
I was going to say the same. It’s also a good example of another very important rule of thumb when it comes to accessibility which is that often no accessibility is better than poorly implemented accessibility.
Thanks for sharing, @moopet. You're right; I didn't go deep with my explanation since the post was getting too long.
That's a great point noted, I'll surely add this properly to my projects! Thanks for sharing this.
One of the things that often goes unsaid when speaking about accessibility is the breadth and depth of the issue.
Even people fairly hip to accessibility mostly think about things like screen readers and color contrast.
There are so many other considerations though like short term memory which can make things like multi-step, wizard style form flows difficult.
Also things like not overusing animations and flashy visual or audio effects for those who have attention deficits or sensory overload issues.
Finally something to always keep in mind is that most things that are good for people with various impairments also make the average user’s experience better.
Thanks for sharing, Luke.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are crucial in our collective efforts to sustain our planet. It's inspiring to see the developer community actively engaging in crafting UX best practices to promote inclusivity. This is a fantastic read! @nonsoo24
Thanks, Raymond. I am glad you found this post valuable.
Wow, I just ran some of the tools mentioned in my private website and realised so many issues. Thanks a lot for sharing this initial guidelines!
You are welcome, Felipe. Glad you found this valuable
Nice read. I'm currently working on a website where we can't practice no mouse day because nothing works without the mouse 😬 looks like we can start from here
No mouse day is a holiday...LOL
Lol, please start from there @pauldumebi.
This article is an eye-opener for new and experienced devs. kudos
Thanks, Godwin.
Excellent read. Accessibility is a key feature of Koinos Network and I'd like to see these principles applied across the community.
Glad Koinos Network is making the world a better place by building a web that includes everyone.
Great point... Thanks for sharing.
Thanks @enenyaob
Nice. So I take Care of Accessibility while development.
