Neomorphism Accessibility Concerns #3

Closed crutchcorn closed 3 years ago

crutchcorn commented 3 years ago

Hey @CuriousNikhil! First off, thanks for your public, exploratory work on implementing this relatively new online aesthetic. If nothing else, it's been exciting reading through the codebase as a form of reference for other UI patterns.

With that said, I’m curious how you see someone implementing this with accessibility in mind. There are some issues when it comes to the neuromorphic design patterns and accessibility. Among the issues, there are: • Lack of proper contrast • Lack of distinct contrasting component states • Increased cognitive load in app usage

I’d love to see more focus on those concerns as you continue building this out! I think it would be a great way to further explore the viability of something like this. If you have any thoughts or questions I’d love to discuss them!

I've updated the tone of the comment above (see also the previous title). I shouldn't have been as harsh as I was, and I apologize. I saw something I felt strongly about, hadn't slept in far too long, and should have waited until the morning to draft this/hit send. I hope we can have a positive discourse about accessibility - my tone won't dip back to that again. Apologies again

Hi @crutchcorn, I know and I'm aware that there are issues regarding Accessibility when it comes to Neumorphism UI and why that is not being completely adopted piece of tech. I am glad that you have raised this issue. You don't have to apologise for it 😄. Of course, I would not recommend to use this experimental Neumorphism UI library in production. This is just an experimentation as I am learning and playing with jetpack compose. I would be happy to discuss related questions that I have with you and would like your inputs on this.

crutchcorn commented 3 years ago

Totally understandable! You're making great progress with it, as well! 😊

Do you think it might be reasonable to include a warning in the README highlighting the accessibility concerns?

CuriousNikhil commented 3 years ago

Yes. Will add warning in the README for the same. Thanks.
