Comment on Ask HN: Accessible Applications in WebGL and for the Desktop?

Comments

'requirements' kinda depends on who you are trying to sell to. If it's to the US Federal government, it needs to meet the criteria of what's known as 'Section 508'. There's information about that here:

Other customers, such as schools and universities, might want WCAG 2.1

They may also need to be 508 compliant because of funding rules.

Beyond that, things become complicated.

Thanks for the response! That clarifies a lot!

If I'm selling mostly to businesses does that mean most requirements are avoided? Does that differ between desktop and web?

For context, it's, roughly speaking, a tool for making gantt charts. Not something that would really be central to a role. Just makes a task that could be done in a spreadsheet easier.
