from email:

I was enjoying your research and visualizations; however, I noticed immediately that your navigation has very low contrast, and so I ran an accessibility analysis on the site via WAVE. You can follow the link and see the errors. http://wave.webaim.org/report#/http://wordbank.stanford.edu/

You can also use https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ for contrast checking.

Keep up the good work otherwise! I really enjoy the research.

Best,

as far as I can tell, the errors in WAVE would be solved by:

[ ] adding a lang attribute to the html tag
[ ] adding alt text to any images missing it
[ ] making sure there no redundant alt text applying to the same element or to two adjacent elements
[ ] making sure there are no heading level skips (e.g. h3 child of h1, starting with h2)

the contrast check passes

oh there are actually contrast errors everywhere -- the blue color that links are in seems to be insufficiently contrasting with the background
