Honestly, who cares, really…

A few thoughts on the new WebAIM million report. And why we will only improve #accessibility on the Web together.

Imagine that you need to improve the UX of a legacy system. A system that has been silently working in the background for almost a decade. It’s slow, half-broken, unreliable and severely outdated — a sort of “black box” that everyone relies upon, but nobody really knows what...
