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,
	"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:

  1. Adaptive UI: Clients can dynamically adjust their user interfaces based on the provided accessibility preferences, ensuring optimal interaction for users with disabilities.
  2. 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.
  3. Navigation: Users with physical disabilities can set preferences for navigation methods that best suit their abilities, whether via keyboard shortcuts or voice commands.
