This isn't the first time these issues have been brought up though. Or even the tenth time. I've seen many small open source projects make accessibility a top priority, actively seeking feedback from visually impaired users, going through multiple prototypes etc. With HN, this just continues to not happen. I could produce a 10-line CSS patch that would solve lots of issues, but at this point I have no reason to believe it would be accepted.

If you offer Dan a 10 line patch which changes nothing in the normal case, but improves things for visually impaired users, I would be surprised if he didn't accept it. I agree there is a low level of visible engagement but I've always found him (and his sidekicks) amenable to reasonable exchanges off this page.
