📝 A note from the Haptics DAO substack. ❇ Intended for the blockchain and wider technology communities! alternative text: "The wrong way is with overlays, plug-ins that show customisable website interfaces to disabled users, promising to help companies achieve accessibility without overhauling code. These interfaces often interfere with the technology blind people already use, and they do not prevent litigation." ~The Economist Substack note: lnkd.in/d8c37jZZ Economist reference: lnkd.in/d6faU2JE #Blockchain #a11y #accessibility #HapticsDAO

🚨 Important Update for the Web3 & Blockchain Community 🚨 It has come to our attention that one of the major Web3 and blockchain related organizations in the space has updated their website to leverage an overlay widget. It is our view at @HapticsDAO that these solutions not only do not succeed in their intended aims, but instead even increase accessibility issues for websites, web apps, and decentralized applications. #Web3 #Blockchain #a11y #Accessibility #HapticsDAO Read our latest post on the subject: hapticsdao.substack.com/p/th…
Warning sign above a code snippet. The first line is a code comment that reads: Insert overlay solution that doesn’t actually work and can get us sued. The line underneath is a piece of code to insert the overlay through the script tag in javascript. Background is a blockchain with blocks outlined in red to symbolize accessibility failure.

To be inclusive to everyone, we need to make sure that anyone who wishes to participate in the space has the ability to do so. Accessibility is multidimensional. Disability is along a spectrum. There are different needs for different groups that require specific accommodations.
