Inspiration
We noticed that a lot of articles are not accessible to those who have disabilities affecting their reading ability or their focus. One of our teammates is diagnosed with ADHD and has a lot of trouble reading large portions of text, and we wanted to improve the learning experiences of those who have trouble reading large portions of texts.
What it does
How we built it
We built our project using HTML and Visual Studio Code.
Challenges we ran into
Some of the challenges we faced were that there was a lot of misinformation as to what was truly accessible to those with disabilities such as dyslexia, and since none of us have dyslexia, it made it hard to judge if a font was truly accessible. We also had trouble working the API into our website, but we figured it out using open source resources.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of how accessible our website is as well as persevering and figuring out how to integrate the API we were using for our program.
What we learned
We learnt that there are specific regulations to make sure a resource is accessible, and we also learned how to use APIs in our website.
What's next for TL;DR
We want to create an app and add more blog posts about people with learning disabilities in the STEM fields.
