beccaelizabethI was just reading one of the Doctor Who tags on Latest Things (awesome feature, finding people just cause they tag).
I ended up on a journal where someone was writing in light grey on white.
I can only assume their screen settings are *very very very* different than mine. Or possibly their computer reads it out loud for them.
There are automatic accessibility checkers online. Some of the most simple just check your colors for you. Having a button after you tweak things to look pleasing to you that prompts you for accessibility checks would bring the issue to the attention of a lot more people. It would also *irritate* a lot more people, so I can see why people wouldn't want that, but I quite like being able to read things without using the zap colours button.
Also, is there a spoiler tag? Like a cut tag, but it would put in the good accessible code that gives screen readers a chance to hop over a spoiler and also makes it highlight-to-read. I always have to google for it because I never store it anywhere I can find it again later.
Would those make it more awesome? Or more annoying?
