What Hacker News says

2 sources
* Turn off CSS. Can you still read/interact with the content? Is the content in the correct order? * Are there page headings? Some screen readers navigate the page using headers, tags h1-h6. * Are the controls far enough a part that a motor impaired person can interact with the page? Think Parkinson’s, epilepsy, MS, and so forth. * Does the content display with sufficient color contrast? I wrote a tool evaluate all colors of a color scheme for contrast according WCAG definitions: https://github.com/prettydiff/colorContrast * You can test any page to determine if the content is well described using this other tool I wrote. You simply copy and paste the JS code into your browser console and a report displays on screen: https://github.com/prettydiff/semanticText
