In this episode of Open Source with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how open source projects are tackling accessibility barriers in software development. They focus on the specific case of the NVDA screen reader, an open source tool for blind users, and discuss how projects like React and Vue are incorporating accessibility checks into their core workflows. Lucas shares data on the estimated 285 million visually impaired people worldwide and the cost of retrofitting accessibility after release. The hosts also cover the role of automated testing tools like axe-core and how projects handle contributions from developers with disabilities. A concrete example: the pull request system used by the Django project to tag accessibility issues. The donation segment ties listener support to keeping this show ad-free. No fluff, just practical insight on making open source inclusive. #Accessibility #A11y #OpenSource #NVDA #ScreenReader #React #Vue #Django #AxeCore #InclusiveDesign #DisabilityTech #WCAG #WebAccessibility #TechPodcast #SoftwareEngineering #CommunityDriven #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
