Built to be usable on your worst day

What we do

• Keyboard-first: every interactive element is reachable and operable by keyboard, with a visible focus ring and a skip-to-content link.
• Screen-reader aware: landmarks and labels on every page; the chat is a live region so new messages are announced; status messages (searching, partner joined/left) are announced politely.
• Reduced motion: if your system requests reduced motion, animations — including the breathing circle — are disabled.
• Contrast: body text meets WCAG AA contrast on our warm paper background.
• Touch targets: buttons and chips are at least 44×44 px on mobile.
• No traps: dialogs close with Escape, focus moves into and returns from dialogs sensibly.

Known gaps

• Real-time chat interfaces are inherently hard for screen readers; we use live regions but haven't yet validated full flows with NVDA/VoiceOver users — feedback welcome.
• Some older article pages still use the previous visual theme while being migrated.
• The sliders in check-in have visible value readouts; we're improving their touch ergonomics.
