Is it a good idea to disable “submit” or “continue” button if some input is incorrect is missing? Probably not: we are missing out on an opportunity to communicate to customers what exactly is wrong, and how to fix it.

Folks are rightfully excited about Chapter 9 in @celeste_game being out now. I'm ecstatic that this means that the Assist Mode preamble has been updated to a version I edited with @Kathy_E_J to avoid talking down to those that need it. We're also now in the special thanks! #a11y
ALT "Assist Mode allows you to modify the game's rules to fit your specific needs"
ALT "This includes options such as slowing the game speed, granting yourself invincibility or infinite stamina, and skipping chapters entirely."
ALT "Celeste is intended to be a challenging and rewarding experience. If the default game proves inaccessible to you, we hope that you can still find that experience with Assist Mode"
ALT The Special Thanks from Celeste's credits, now including "Katherine Elaine Jones" and "Clint 'halfcoordinated' Lexa"

.@instagram has become more accessible now with the ability to add alt text and AI described photos if alt text is missing. Good job.
Here are my top 3 tips to make the app even more accessible for people with visual impairment.
