View submission: Accessibility Updates to Mod Tools: Part 1

View parent comment

Do you think that accessibility should be a more significant quality gate on all new features being released?

It sounds like accessibility is running as an entirely separate department rather than one that is involved in every feature and change made on the site.

Mod features may not be your team specifically but all new features should require accessibility input at both the design stage and sign off stage before a feature is released. Multiple taps should have been picked up in that.

Oh they do not have an accessibility team, they just have people who have accessibility stapled to their job title with or without qualifications and no actual organized system for doing anything.

Yes, accessibility is part of overall product quality - and one that applies to app parts of the product and not just new features. As we continue to update you all on progress we'll also share our plans for how we bake accessibility into our products moving forward.
