Creating Accessible UI Animations
Creating Accessible UI Animations
Animation and accessibility are often seen as two separate powers at odds with one another. How is it possible to strike a balance between elements that move and the possible negative effects they expose to users who are sensitive to motion? Oriana García explains how her team at Mercado Libre tackled the challenge by creating guiding principles for applying animation to user interfaces and incorporating them into the team’s design system.

Scrollbars are becoming a problem
Scrollbars are becoming a problem
Scrollbars. Ever heard of them? They’re pretty cool. Click and drag on a scrollbar and you can move content around in a scrollable content pane. I love that shit. Every day I am scrolling on my computer, all day long. But the scrollbars are getting smaller and this is increasingly becoming a problem. I would show you screenshots but they’re so small that even screenshotting them is hard to do. And people keep making them even smaller, hiding them away, its like they don’t want you to scroll! “Ah”, they say, “that’s what the scroll wheel is for”. My friend, not everyone can use a scroll wheel or a swipe up touch screen. And me, a happy scroll-wheeler, even I would like to quickly jump around some time.

Let's be clear about this: Accessibility is not a feature. Inaccessibility is a bug. If your software or website is inaccessible, that renders it unusable to the end user. It is broken, in other words. #AccessibilityMatters #AccessibilityIsNotAFeature #DisabilityRights #Accessibility #Disability #SoftwareDevelopment #SoftwareBug #Web #UX #UXDesign

Barrierefreiheit: Verwaltungsdigitalisierung mit Hürden
Barrierefreiheit: Verwaltungsdigitalisierung mit Hürden
Wer sehbehindert ist und einen Personalausweis beantragen möchte, steht buchstäblich vor gleich mehreren Hindernissen. Zwar obliegt die digitale Barrierefreiheit laut Onlinezugangsgesetz den Verwaltungen. Doch sie und die Politik behandeln diese Aufgabe nachrangig und verhindern so gesellschaftliche Teilhabe aller.
