In Chapter 5, @SarahFossheim takes these lessons further to provide insights in how to create better experiences for people who use screen readers.

I'm super excited for today's new @urbaninstitute #DoNoHarmGuide report on #accessibility in the data and data visualization spaces. Nine amazing authors provide you with practical ways to help you create better, more accessible projects. A 🧵 | urban.org/research/publicati…

From what I've learned from folks in the #accessibility field, two things are going to happen here:
1. A large number of people are going to be excluded from the platform.
2. Accessibility will never be a priority and never done correctly because it wasn't baked in at the start.

ALT Focus is what you are not doing - this means that we are not focused on things like dark mode, iOS/Android apps, DM’s, private accounts, power user tools (managing large follower base), activity pub, accessibility, video (you can embed 3rd party players like Youtube for now) etc. We want to do it all but first, let's get everyone in.
