I m a software project manager by profession, and the founder of CoreA11y, a startup focused on digital accessibility. My mission is simple: A web where every person can read, shop, learn and connect on their own terms, and no one has to ask for help just to click a button.
Many online businesses face lawsuits and complaints under the ADA in the US and the European Accessibility Act in the EU. Often they don t know where their site falls short, or what to fix first. So I ve been building tools to help: accessibility checkers I d love to connect with fellow makers and tech folks here, and to hear how you see accessibility:
Is it part of how you build and ship, or does it usually come up later?
What s the hardest part for you: knowing the rules, finding the issues, or fixing them?
We re launching a free PDF accessibility checker on 17 November. While we get ready, we d like to hear from people who publish or use PDFs: which documents are the worst? Forms, annual reports, menus, course packs, scanned letters? And if you ve tried to fix one yourself, what got in the way?
Your answers will shape what we check for and explain first.
