Crafting Comics for Literally Everyone

on YouTube ↗27m

" summary

Claims the web can deliver comics readable by blind users and demonstrates a working demo: an Amber.js single-page app that narrates panel‑by‑panel using alt text, image map area labels and an "accessibility announcer" tied to document title changes so screenreaders pick up route changes. Tests with ChromeVox and VoiceOver show each frame and speech bubble read aloud. Notes practical rules: avoid maximum-scale, disable strobing animations, prefer semantic HTML, and warns 97.9% of popular homepages fail basic accessibility.
