Why we obsessed over a single button (and what it means for you)

You might have noticed some small but significant changes on our community pages recently. This wasn't just a simple style update; it was the result of a deep dive that began with the discovery that some of our initial platform designs did not meet modern accessibility standards.

This means that for users with visual impairments, such as color blindness or low vision, the text may be difficult or impossible to read. We believe in a platform for the people, so we set a goal to score a perfect 100 on the Lighthouse accessibility test.

Fixing this was a fun design challenge. We explored dozens of variations: solid colors, outlined styles, different icons, and various color combinations. We learned that what looks good (in my opinion) isn't always what is best for every user. The process forced us to create a more robust and thoughtful design system for the entire platform, where every element's style is now based on a clear, consistent, and accessible set of rules.

And the result is a platform that we believe is better and more accessible for every user.

We're excited to share that OddsRabbit now scores a perfect 100 on Lighthouse for accessibility, a key to our ongoing commitment to building the perfect community platform. This means our buttons and the rest of the platform are not only more cohesive and professional but are accessible to all users. The new design ensures a clear hierarchy and a better user experience, including for users using screen readers.

This is just one step on our ongoing mission to build the best community platform for creators and their communities. We'd love to hear your thoughts on the new look, and we're always listening for more ways we can improve.
