When I was an intern, another intern and I were tasked with improving the accessibility of an angular app (internal use) so that it meets an internal standard (it got tested in iterations against that standard)

Ever since then, I just can't unsee how inaccessible a lot of modern websites are, especially the modern fancy ones. I like to sometimes just test how easily navigable a website is with only a keyboard, how ready it is for screen-readers, color blind support, high contrast mode, etc

I know a lot of these are hard to implement and I don't blame developers for not bothering. But I do think it's quite sad, especially with how integrated the web has become in day-to-day life

I am no longer working on accessibility but when I am working on the frontend of my current project, I try to make it more accessible, at least for keyboard users and screenreader users, while trying to to spend too much time on so I can finish the issues planned for the current sprint, even though it is not a requirement or even a concern to the product owner.
