This is for everyone
summary
Argues that accessibility is broader than permanent impairment and gives concrete fixes: bad animation breaks dyslexic and ADHD readers (example: moving JIRA banner), low-contrast UI like Untappd fails tipsy users, big hero images hide text (WebCo redesigned to improve contrast), and captions matter (BBC captions every video). Shows real wins: Flipkart Light PWA boosts returning users +40% and conversions +63%, one developer shrinks a homepage 70% with responsive images. Recommends progressive web apps, service workers, and throttle network in Chrome DevTools to test low-bandwidth users.
