You realize you’re talking to a disabled developer, right?
Me being able to use a product is not a feature. I’m a member of your audience and if you don’t have an accessible product I literally can’t use it. Accessibility is not a feature. It’s a need and you need it from the beginning.
I work for a startup. We have TWO engineers. I’m still able to work on accessibility in almost every single frontend task I touch. It’s about effort. None of the points in my post are demonstrating effort to be better, and the comment you’re replying to isn’t demonstrating effort either. There’s no discussion happening.
Accessibility isn’t a hard decision and it’s also not a hard thing to implement. A lot of people would rather complain about how hard it is than sit down and actually do the work and research necessary to be a good developer. Learning about accessibility is no different than learning an API or library you’re adding to an app.
Make sure to check out my recent posts on here for proof. You can build, test, AND document accessible components in a matter of hours. You just have to put work into educating yourself.
