An honest statement: what this site actually does for accessibility, what it doesn't do yet, and how to call us on it.
[ 01 ]What we do
Reduced motion, respected everywhere
Every animation on this site — reveals, marquees, beams, pulse dots — checks prefers-reduced-motion and switches itself off. The darkroom aesthetic survives without movement; if your OS says don't animate, we don't.
Semantic landmarks and structure
Pages are built from real landmarks: one main per page, nav elements with aria-labels, headings in order, lists that are lists. Decorative glyphs and rules carry aria-hidden so screen readers hear content, not ornament.
Keyboard-first navigation
Everything reachable by pointer is reachable by keyboard, including the command palette (Cmd/Ctrl-K), which gives keyboard users a faster path through the site than scrolling. Focus is never trapped, and the menu closes on route change.
Contrast held in the token system
Ink-on-background contrast is set once in the --dr-* design tokens and inherited everywhere, in both dark and light themes. Dim text is reserved for secondary copy; primary content always uses full-contrast ink.
[ 02 ]Known gaps
A statement that lists only strengths is marketing. These are the gaps we know about, stated plainly.
3D scenes are decorative
The dioramas on /world and the generative canvases on some pages are not keyboard-operable and are not described object-by-object. They are decoration, marked aria-hidden, and every piece of information they convey also exists as plain text on the same page. We consider that honest — but it is a gap, and richer text equivalents are on the list.
No formal audit yet
We build against WCAG 2.2 AA as a working target, but no third-party audit has verified that claim. Until one has, this page says 'target', not 'conformant'.
Tooltip-only data on /status
The 90-day uptime strips expose per-day detail through title tooltips, which are awkward for touch and screen-reader users. The per-service summary (name, uptime percentage) is available as text; per-day text alternatives are planned.
