A lot of developers wonder what M16Y means? I mean, a11y we know but what is this new discovery???? 🤕. Well, it’s nothing new just something added. When we discuss Media as it relates to accessibility a cool way to think about this is media accessibility => ( M16Y) . We will discuss the methods applied to care for users that have some visual impairments and have to navigate the web applications we build and also the best ways to accommodate these users.
