That was what I said and you confirmed. Sorry if there is criticism of your color contrast model and how it is used in WCAG 3. Consensus and discussion is the root of how standards are developed. You can either listen to these suggestions if people doing WCAG conformance testing

… every day, or you do not. I personally don’t care if you do. I put my concerns out there specifically for that use case. Because I cannot go in day to day testing and say “it’s in the ballpark”. I need to create those lookup tables and justify them. And all I want is 1 example

You know, it is incredibly demotivating.We are supposed to figure out how to use these things in practice before they get published and then these big changes swoop in and whenever you ask for specifics it’s “let’s figure this out later”. No, this is the time.

In the end, implementation matters. If accessibility requirements are easy to implement, they will be. Having more color options help. Hiding them behind a maze of considerations does not. It is not a simple thing to work out. I want this to be better and clearer.

Maybe we don’t share that goal, maybe we do. But saying “hold your horses, WCAG 3 is not ready, and determining compliance is probably more complicated than the raw Lc value” is not misrepresenting the facts. Feel free to ignore or block me. I have voiced my concerns in the past

Hey do I have to turn the car around kids? Shouting out on Twitter can work very fucking well

Yes it can when it's honest.

So very true I bitched at you but you are right honesty very hard found these days maybe ever. I defend @yatil because we go back many decades and I love him for all he has done for our community and accessibility and I have this loyal aspect to my nature that can startle me too

I appreciate that. For perspective, I have spent the last 2½ years researching and developing the solution for a very serious web problem: the lack of readability contrast. It is critically important for accessibility. I've responded to his concerns but still he persists?? 😕

Sorry you haven't been well, me neither to be honest. As for the "controversy" there's more of a backstory, trying to find a solution (and failing). Here's a linktree, with links to APCA tools, articles, GitHub, etc. There's a discussion tab @ GitHub. linktr.ee/Myndex
