Accessibility

Together should work for everyone, on an old phone and a slow connection. This page says what I have checked, and what is not good enough yet.

What works today

  • Every page is built on the server, so reading pages work without JavaScript.
  • There is a "Skip to content" link, and pages declare British English for screen readers.
  • When you move between pages, the new page's heading takes focus and its title is announced.
  • Charts have a hidden table of their values for screen readers, and you can step through months with the arrow keys.
  • The map can be moved with the arrow keys and zoomed with plus and minus, and everything it shows is also listed in the panel beside it.
  • If your device asks for reduced motion, animation is switched off.
  • You can choose a light or dark appearance, with palettes whose chart colours are checked for colour-blind readers.
  • Pages reflow on a screen 390 pixels wide with no sideways scrolling.

What is not good enough yet

  • The map itself is visual. The panel describes what it shows, but exploring by touch or with a screen reader is harder than it should be.
  • Nobody independent has audited Together, and I have not tested it with every screen reader and browser.
  • Some text from other sources, such as Wikipedia introductions, arrives as written there.

Tell me about a barrier

If something gets in your way, tell me what you were trying to do and what happened. Accessibility problems go to the front of the queue.
