🗹🗹🗹 these boxes are high contrast.

And it's not like this is hard to do. Hell, it's easier!

Finding a balance. #

A lot of sites that preach accessibility miss a point that everyone is thinking “If I’m focused on accessibility, I won’t be able to work as fast or make as many cool things.”. Yep. That’s true.

Hell, above where I wrote “🗹🗹🗹 these boxes are high contrast.”

It’s possible a screen reader will read that as

ballot box bold check ballot box bold check ballot box bold check these boxes are high contrast bold text end.

With the bold text being in a, uh, bold voice? It depends on the user’s screen reader.

And, yeah, ｏｏｆ. That’s not a good experience. It’s worth trying to balance your use of text, images, and (do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do) Unicode abusing spice.
