View submission: What We’re Working on in 2024
As a blind user, it's important for me to point out that WCAG 2.1 is the barest minimum you can do for accessibility, especially in terms of native mobile apps. You should aim for that as a foundational baseline of minimum compliance and work on making the app and experience much more usable based on the design guidelines from Apple and Google. The native reddit app is not a website, so don't design it like one and don't expect accessible web patterns to map to the native experience. WCAG will work for some things, but not all the criteria will map to native apps, and you'll have to focus on and be actually aware of how those of us with assistive tech actually experience what you build.

I'm convinced they don't even know what WCAG is.
