 For a while now I've been wanting to write about the inaccessibility of SaaS products and the issue of shipping prototypes to production. The launch of the Vercel v0 LLM for generating UI was the prompt (wink) that I needed. https://localghost.dev/blog/ai-and-the-trouble-with-inaccessible-saas/

 As a fully #blind #developer myself I am of two minds on this. If this was a world in which I could have nice things, i'm all for this. An AI that styles stuff for me so I don't have to? Yes, please. My #CSS is dreadful and I simply don't have the bandwidth to improve it at present.
But this is not that world, and blindness organizations sending me inaccessible bills when they want money is a clear indication that I cannot, in fact, have nice things a lot of the time. The fact I couldnt'make an account on a website to find a catsitter this weekend because of an inaccessible form does, as well. So, alpha or not, train your product on best practices, or kindly get the heck out of the sandbox before you hurt the internet more than it already is hurting. #accessibility #vercel #v0 #shiftLeft
