@Bovelett @Shopify Hi Anne. You can find details at shopify.com/accessibility Feel free to send questions to accessibility@shopify.com.

Dear @Shopify, I'm trying to find more information about your output being accessibility-ready, but I have a hard time finding it. Can you tell me where I can find this info?

I had fun talking #accessibility on @LiquidWeekly. The main takeaways being accessibility is an ongoing journey. Like security or performance it doesn't stop. Make small, incremental change to build knowledge and confidence. #a11y #podcast #shopify youtube.com/watch?v=NAy36n…

@TRPage_dev @LiquidWeekly Sure, DM me the details.

Recently had someone reach out to intro another individual as an accessibility specialist to come on the @LiquidWeekly Podcast in Season 2. Quick scan of this individual online with no alt text on images posted and pretty low-hanging a11y fixes on their own website. Someone coming on Liquid Weekly, the bar needs to be much higher than that. BUT I think my one takeaway from that interaction was yes, @kmeister2000 and I do need someone on to talk accessibility in the Shopify Dev space. Who in the Shopify Dev space is GREAT at accessibility? Any ideas? @svinkle would be super duper cool if you'd be interested.

Accessibility is key to ensuring that anyone can use the great apps you develop without any hiccups or annoyance in the process! @13ritta from @Shopify debunks the usual misconceptions about what it means to build a truly inclusive app and how to do this efficiently.
