Readable structure
Callout uses headings, labels, consistent controls, and strong visual separation to help people understand each page. Text should remain readable when enlarged, and important meaning should not depend on color alone.
Keyboard use
Navigation, dialogs, forms, voting controls, and menus are designed to be reachable without a mouse. Visible focus indicators show which control is active. Escape and close actions should return attention to a sensible place.
Motion and themes
Light, dark, and system themes are available alongside reduced-motion support. Reduced motion replaces unnecessary animation with static feedback while keeping the same information and functionality.
Accessible media
Members should add meaningful descriptions where supported and avoid placing essential information only inside an image. Captions or written context help people who cannot hear audio or clearly inspect a visual attachment.
Writing clearly
Short sentences, descriptive labels, and explained abbreviations help more people join a discussion. Decorative emoji can add tone, but the underlying opinion should remain understandable without interpreting an emoji sequence.
Ongoing work
Accessibility is an ongoing product responsibility. New components are tested at different widths and input methods, and reported barriers should be treated as product defects rather than optional cosmetic changes.
