    The nice thing about open source is that motivated developers can fill out whats needed.

    In for-profit companies there’s always some money-making feature that kicks accessibility down the road. The way I get my work colleagues to give a fuck is to remind them that most blind people aren’t born that way, some circumstance causes the blindness - and therefore any one of them could end up on the other side of the fence begging for basic access one day, so act accordingly now.

      It’s kind of terrible that you have to argue like that. I mean shouldn’t the very fact that you can be born blind be a great argument for accessibility?

      After all, any of them could have drawn that number in the birth lottery.
