Yesterday was Global #Accessibility Awareness Day (#GAAD). Today, some companies will be considering switching away from #Slack to a less #accessible alternative due to #AI bullshit.

matt,

@jscholes I wonder how the new self-hosted version of Campfire from 37signals (https://once.com/campfire) stacks up. Of course, that would only be an option for small companies. They've got an interesting business model BTW; you buy it once and get the code. So a customer or third party could do accessibility fixes. I don't really feel like fixing another app developer's accessibility problems for free though.

@matt I think 37signals is partially owned by David Heinemeier Hansson, who is a pretty controversial figure. I also didn't think much of the accessibility of Basecamp. Still, being able to buy the code is an interesting move.

matt,

@jscholes Yeah, you're definitely right about DHH. Good to know that Basecamp's accessibility wasn't good.

@jscholes Funny, I asked about that in the A11y Slack this morning — is there even an opt out, or does it being a donated instance preclude that?
