Dear All, I recently came across a talk promoting the idea of creating separate applications specifically for persons with disabilities (Youtube Link included below). I wanted to share a different perspective. Instead of building disability‑exclusive apps, I strongly believe we should be advocating for accessibility within mainstream services. Any digital service offered to the public should be accessible by default and mandated as such. There is no need for a separate shopping app when Amazon works accessibly — and if something breaks, I report it. The same goes for commuting apps like Uber. Creating separate apps for disabled users leads to limited reach, smaller user bases, and isolation from mainstream platforms. Accessibility should not be a parallel system; it should be an integral part of the services everyone uses. Would love to hear your thoughts.
