New Appt website

Appt is the largest knowledge base for app accessibility. The website has been updated to make it faster and easier for everyone to use.

Improvements include:

• Faster loading times.

• Open-source content in Markdown format.

• Open-source accessibility statistics in JSON format.

• Edit button on each page to improve articles.

• Search button to find what you need quickly.

• New code samples for .NET MAUI

The content migration was carried out by Yurii Kozlov and Jan Jaap de Groot, team members of Abra.

New Appt accessibility handbook

Many people indicate that it is difficult to start with accessibility. The "Appt accessibility handbook" teaches the basics to make apps accessible. It summarizes disabilities, features, legislation, guidelines and has guidance for designers, developers and testers. Each section links to more detailed information on the Appt website.

The handbook was originally published in Dutch and has been downloaded thousands of times. In addition to Dutch, the new handbook is also available in English. It is written by Jan Jaap de Groot and Paul van Workum, the co-founders of Abra.
