Accessibility

Midnight Thought is built by Leela, a part-time erotic writer who believes storytelling should be accessible to everyone. While the platform is still improving its accessibility features, I'm committed to making it usable for people of all abilities.

If you encounter barriers while using Midnight Thought, please reach out on Discord. Your feedback helps me understand what needs to be fixed or improved.

What's currently implemented:

• Semantic HTML structure for screen readers
• Keyboard navigation support
• High contrast text and colors
• Descriptive alt text for images
• Focus indicators for interactive elements
• Responsive design that works on different screen sizes
• Clean, simple layout without overwhelming animations

Improvements in development:

• Better screen reader support for the story editor
• More comprehensive keyboard shortcuts
• Improved color contrast in all areas
• Font size controls
• Dark/light theme options
• Better error message handling
• More descriptive labels and instructions

I aim to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards, though with help from tech friends, we're still working toward full compliance.

The platform is tested with:

• Keyboard-only navigation
• Screen reader software (when possible)
• High contrast displays
• Different browser zoom levels

Need help or found an accessibility issue?

Please join our Discord server and post in the #support channel. I'm always eager to learn about accessibility barriers and fix them quickly.

When reporting accessibility issues, please include:

• What assistive technology you're using (if any)
• What browser you're using
• What you were trying to do
• What happened instead
• Any error messages you saw

Midnight Thought is built by tech friends for Leela using modern web technologies that support accessibility:

• Next.js for server-side rendering and better performance
• Semantic HTML5 elements
• ARIA labels and roles where needed
• CSS that respects user preferences
• Progressive enhancement principles

As the platform grows, this part-time erotic writer will continue working with tech friends to improve accessibility based on user feedback and best practices.
