Accessibility

What we aim for

We build toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 at level AA. That is the standard the ADA is generally read against in the United States, and it is the one we hold ourselves to whether or not anyone is checking.

What that means here

Body text is set large, at a comfortable measure, in a face chosen for reading rather than for looking expensive. Text and background meet contrast requirements. The page is light on purpose and does not follow your system into dark mode, so the writing never changes weight under you halfway through a year.

Every page works from the keyboard alone, and focus is always visible. Headings are real headings, so a screen reader can move through a day’s reading by structure. Images carry alternative text, and decorative ones are hidden from screen readers rather than described pointlessly. Forms have labels attached to their fields, and errors are announced rather than only coloured red.

Text reflows and stays readable when you zoom to 200% or turn on your browser’s own larger type. Nothing here moves, flashes, autoplays, or interrupts you.

The messages themselves

Every email is sent with a plain-text version alongside the formatted one, so it reads correctly in a screen reader, a text-only client, or a braille display. Nothing important is carried by an image, and no message depends on images loading at all. If email is hard for you, the same words arrive by text message instead — one short paragraph a day.

Where we know we fall short

This is written and maintained by one person, and it has not been through a formal third-party audit. Some of the older book pages have longer link text than they should, and a few images could carry richer descriptions. We fix what we find and what you tell us about.

Tell us

If any part of this is hard to read, hard to hear, or hard to operate, write to hello@judahproject.com and say what happened and what you were using. A person reads it, and we treat it as a bug rather than a suggestion. If something is blocking you from reading your own day, tell us and we will send you that day however you need it while we fix the page.
