The boring part

Accessibility

What we built in, and what we haven't tested yet.

Built in

  • WCAG 2.2 Level AA is the target.
  • Skip link, full keyboard use, and a bright yellow focus outline you can't miss on the dark background.
  • Every text colour measured against its background. The lowest contrast on the site is 6.5 to 1, well over the 4.5 to 1 minimum.
  • Chat stories are real text, not images. Each message tells a screen reader who said it.
  • The decorative “typing” dots are hidden from screen readers and only animate if your device allows motion.
  • The loud script font is only used for short lines, never for reading.
  • Ad spaces are labelled as ads.

Not tested yet

Nobody who uses a screen reader every day has tested the site yet. Once ads run, we also can't fully control how accessible an ad network's ads are, but we'll report problems to them.

Tell us

If something doesn't work for you, email hello@pettyass.com. We'll fix it like any other bug.
