<h1>Accessibility Commitment</h1>
<p>
Nebula recognizes the need for all users, regardless of ability and device, to have undeterred access to the
websites and applications that are created with it. This is an important goal of the project.
</p>
<p>
Oftentimes, people will ask “is Nebula accessible?” Im reluctant to answer because accessibility isnt
binary — theres no simple “yes” or “no” response to provide. What seems accessible to a sighted user might
be completely inaccessible to a non-sighted user. And even if you optimize for various screen readers, you
still have to account for low-level vision, color blindness, hearing impairments, mobility impairments, and
more.
</p>
<p>
Accessibility is something you have to continuously strive for. No individual contributor — or perhaps even
an entire team — can claim their software is 100% accessible because of the sheer diversity of abilities,
devices, assistive technologies, and individual use cases.
</p>
<p>
Furthermore, accessibility doesnt stop at the component level. Using accessible building blocks doesnt
magically make the rest of your webpage or application compliant. There is no library or overlay that will
make your software “fully accessible” without putting in the effort. Its also worth noting that web
components are still somewhat bleeding edge, so browsers, assistive devices, and
<a href="https://wicg.github.io/aom/spec/" class="external-link" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"
>even specifications</a
>
are still evolving to help improve accessibility on the web platform.
</p>
<p>
My commitment to Nebula users is this: Everything I develop will be built with accessibility in mind. I will
test and improve every component to the best of my ability and knowledge. I will work around upstream
issues, such as browser bugs and limitations, to the best of my ability and within reason.
</p>
<p>
Im fully aware that I may not get it right every time for every user, so I invite the community to
participate in this ongoing effort by submitting
<a
href="https://github.com/onsonr/nebula/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aa11y"
class="external-link"
rel="noopener noreferrer"
target="_blank"
>issues</a
>,
<a
href="https://github.com/onsonr/nebula/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+label%3Aa11y"
class="external-link"
rel="noopener noreferrer"
target="_blank"
>pull requests</a
>, and
<a
href="https://github.com/onsonr/nebula/discussions"
class="external-link"
rel="noopener noreferrer"
target="_blank"
>discussions</a
>. Many accessibility improvements have already been made thanks to contributors submitting code, feedback,
and suggestions.
</p>
<p>
This is the path forward. Together, we will continue to make Nebula accessible to as many users as possible.
