Built for the hardest night

Many of our readers are exhausted, on a phone at 2am, and many have sensory sensitivities of their own. Accessibility is not a feature here. It is the identity. This page is the policy we hold ourselves to.

Type and contrast

Body text is set in Atkinson Hyperlegible, chosen for exactly one reason: it stays readable when eyes are tired or vision is low.
Both site fonts are self-hosted. Reading this site sends no requests to font services.
The colorful mode you see by default meets WCAG AA contrast. Calm Mode is the structural answer for readers who need more: a quiet, higher-contrast surface that targets AAA body contrast.

Atkinson Hyperlegible was created by the Braille Institute and designed to improve legibility and readability for readers with low vision.

Calm view

The Calm view button in the header changes the page to white and neutral reading surfaces and stops transitions. The words, links and layout stay the same. Choose Standard view to return to the warm-white and teal colors.

Your choice is remembered on your device and nowhere else. And if your system asks for reduced motion or more contrast, Calm view turns itself on before the page paints.

Motion

Pages use normal browser scrolling. Reading does not depend on animations, a pinned carousel or cards that turn as you scroll.

If your device asks for reduced motion, animations and transitions are disabled.
Guide text and source links are available without scripts. Interactive features, including search results and the next-step questionnaire, need scripts.
Nothing on this site flashes, and nothing autoplays with sound.

Keyboard and screen readers

A skip-to-content link is the first thing the keyboard reaches on every page.
Every control is a real link or button with a visible focus ring, tuned to stay visible on every background color.
The mobile menu and frequently asked questions use native disclosure controls.
Decorative art is hidden from screen readers. Meaningful images carry real alternative text.

The honest part: a full screen-reader walkthrough of the core flow is on our pre-launch checklist and has not shipped yet. What we find gets fixed and noted here.

Tell us where it fails

If any part of this site is hard for you to read or use, that is a bug in the site, not in you. Accessibility reports go to the top of our queue. Email us or use the report form, and if you are comfortable saying what tech you use (screen reader, switch, magnification), it helps us fix it faster.
