3 WCAG 2.1 AA — What We Support

The following summarises noli's conformance against WCAG 2.1 Level AA success criteria, organised by principle:

Perceivable

• 1.1.1 Non-text content (A): All images, icons, and non-text elements have text alternatives (accessibility labels or `aria-label` on web).
• 1.3.1 Info and relationships (A): UI structure communicated via semantic roles and accessibility traits (e.g., headings, buttons, lists).
• 1.3.3 Sensory characteristics (A): Instructions do not rely solely on shape, colour, size, or sound.
• 1.4.1 Use of colour (A): Colour is never the sole means of conveying information.
• 1.4.3 Contrast (minimum) (AA): Normal text ≥ 4.5:1; large text ≥ 3:1 contrast ratio against backgrounds.
• 1.4.4 Resize text (AA): Text can be resized up to 200% via Dynamic Type without loss of content.
• 1.4.10 Reflow (AA): Content reflows to a single column at 320px effective width without horizontal scrolling.
• 1.4.11 Non-text contrast (AA): UI components and graphical objects meet 3:1 contrast against adjacent colours.
• 1.4.12 Text spacing (AA): No loss of functionality when letter/word/line spacing is increased per WCAG thresholds.

Operable

• 2.1.1 Keyboard (A): All functionality accessible via keyboard (web) and Switch Control / full keyboard access (iOS).
• 2.1.2 No keyboard trap (A): Focus is never trapped in any component.
• 2.3.1 Three flashes (A): No content flashes more than 3 times per second.
• 2.4.3 Focus order (A): Focus follows a logical reading order on all screens.
• 2.4.4 Link purpose (A): All links and buttons have descriptive labels.
• 2.4.7 Focus visible (AA): Keyboard/Switch Control focus indicator is always visible.
• 2.5.3 Label in name (A): Accessible names include visible label text.
• 2.5.4 Motion actuation (A): No functionality requires device motion or shaking; all such functions have UI alternatives.

Understandable

• 3.1.1 Language of page (A): Page/app language is programmatically set (lang="en").
• 3.2.1 On focus (A): No unexpected context changes on focus.
• 3.2.2 On input (A): No unexpected context changes on input without user initiation.
• 3.3.1 Error identification (A): Input errors are identified and described in text.
• 3.3.2 Labels or instructions (A): All form fields have visible labels and instructions.

Robust

• 4.1.1 Parsing (A): No duplicate IDs; markup is well-formed.
• 4.1.2 Name, role, value (A): All UI components expose name, role, and state to assistive technologies.
• 4.1.3 Status messages (AA): Status messages (errors, confirmations) are programmatically determinable without focus.

4 Supported Assistive Technologies

noli has been tested with the following assistive technologies:

5 Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some areas are not yet fully conformant. We are actively working to resolve them:

• Constellation canvas (complex graphic): The interactive constellation view is a custom canvas component. While it has a text alternative describing the constellation's current state, interactive exploration via VoiceOver is limited. A full accessible alternative list view is planned for v1.1.
• The noli orb animation description: The noli orb's emotional state (calm, happy, curious) is visually conveyed through animation. VoiceOver currently announces the state as text but does not narrate animation changes in real time. Improvement planned for v1.1.
• TalkBack (Android): Android accessibility support via TalkBack is in testing. Full conformance on Android is targeted for v1.2.
• Complex emotion charts: Pattern insight charts on the Profile tab have basic accessibility labels. Interactive data point navigation via assistive technology is in development.

If you encounter an accessibility barrier not listed here, please report it — we treat accessibility bugs with the same priority as functional bugs.

6 Web Accessibility (This Website)

This website (noli's landing page and legal pages) is built as semantic HTML5 with the following accessibility features:

• Semantic landmark elements (<nav>, <main>, <footer>, <section>).
• All images and icons have descriptive alt text or aria-label attributes.
• All animations respect the prefers-reduced-motion media query — users with Reduce Motion enabled will see no animations.
• Colour contrast meets WCAG 2.1 AA (minimum 4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text and UI components).
• Focus indicators are visible on all interactive elements.
• The website is fully navigable by keyboard alone.
• Page language is set (lang="en").
• No auto-playing video or audio.
• No content flashes more than 3 times per second.

This website was designed with prefers-reduced-motion support baked in. You can verify this by enabling 'Reduce Motion' in your OS accessibility settings (Settings → Accessibility → Motion on iOS/macOS, or Settings → Accessibility → Remove animations on Android).
