Polypane ships with a bunch of different color blindness simulators, but why should you care, what do they actually do, and what do you have to do with them?

We explain all in our updated article on developing for color blindness: https://t.co/ywiRwchfrc

[FixA11y @fixa11y]

Great (free) tool for when you want to check and fix contrast!

[Polypane. Browser for devs who care @polypane]

Our WCAG and APCA color contrast checker is available at https://t.co/CiM82lmbrO

It does a ton:
- Pick colors across your screen (in some browsers)
- Use hex, rgb or hsl
- Check against AA or AAA
- Gives suggestions for more contrasting colors
- Simulate different impairments

Happy Global Accessibility Awareness Day (#GAAD2023) everyone!

At Polypane we want to help you get insight into and improve the accessibility of the sites and apps you work on. We do this through dozens and dozens of features. Find a neat overview here: https://t.co/aoAwyyjeFw

[Polypane. Browser for devs who care @polypane]

We've given our contrast checker a new home! If you haven't checked it in a while, we've done a bunch of upgrades:

- Pick colors from anywhere on your screen
- Test with WCAG and APCA
- Preview suggested colors
- Check with colorblindness simulators

We've improved the color contrast checker on our website.

Switch between the WCAG algorithm (for a11y audits) and APCA, which is planned to be part of a future standard.

Hover over the suggested colors to update the previews for a quick visual check.

We're part of the 3.7%. 😎

Sorry, what's that? @webaim's yearly accessibility report of the top 1 million websites got released, and 96.3% of sites have detectable accessibility issues ☹️

Our homepage is part of the other 3.7% of websites without issues https://t.co/bSLoOKlrZ9

It’s been (a little over) three years since we made Polypane free for students through the @GitHubEducation Student Developer Pack.

Time flies! We’re still so proud to help students kickstart their projects and help them make more responsive, accessible and performant sites.
