NIP-111
Accessibility (A11y)
draft
optional
author:fernandolguevara
Abstract
Accessibility involves designing content, products, services, and environments to be usable and accessible by users with disabilities. This NIP proposes a mechanism for users with disabilities to define their accessibility preferences using kind: 0
event type. This way, NOSTR Clients can enhance the inclusive experience for all users.
Categories of disabilities
To address diverse accessibility needs, disabilities can be categorized into:
- Visual
- Hearing
- Physical
- Cognitive, Learning, and Neurological
- Speech
Example
{
"kind": 0,
"tags": [
["a11y", "visual", "hearing", "physical", "..."],
// TODO: We need consensus on categorization and nomination of accessibility markers
["a11y-visual", "contrast sensitivity", "red color blindness"],
["a11y-visual-color-blindness", "red"]
]
...
}
Implementing this proposal could benefit a range of scenarios:
- Adaptive UI: Clients can dynamically adjust their user interfaces based on the provided accessibility preferences, ensuring optimal interaction for users with disabilities.
- Content Customization: Content can be presented in formats that suit users' preferences, such as providing subtitles for videos or larger fonts for visually impaired users.
- Navigation: Users with physical disabilities can set preferences for navigation methods that best suit their abilities, whether via keyboard shortcuts or voice commands.
