Accessibility Statement
Ironically, we try to make our terrible UI examples accessible
Last updated: December 2024
Important Context
While our UI control examples are intentionally terrible, we strive to make the website itself accessible. The terrible patterns should serve as examples of what NOT to do in real applications.

DoNotCopyThis is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards for the website structure and navigation, while using the terrible control examples as educational tools about accessibility violations.

Known Accessibility Issues
The following issues exist in our terrible control examples (intentionally) but NOT in the main website:
Interactive Control Examples
The terrible UI controls intentionally violate accessibility guidelines as educational examples. They include issues like: poor contrast, unclear focus states, confusing navigation, and non-standard interaction patterns.
Motion and Animation
Some control examples include excessive motion and animation that may cause discomfort. We are working on adding motion reduction options.
Voice and Camera Controls
Some examples require specific input methods (voice, camera) that may not be accessible to all users. These are demonstration purposes only.
