Welcome! Is there anything obvious we can do to make stacker news easier to use for people with limited sight?
I'm not always conscious of accessibility stuff when I'm programming - but I'd like to get better.
Kind of a tangent but one professor I had in college said the best programmer he knew was blind ... he guessed it was something about the increased cost of debugging leading to better code overall.

Hello. Sorry for the late response. I was programming...
There is not enough level 1 heading for articles on the page with the title (h1).
There is not enough designation with h2 or h3 headers on the page of the post feeds. It's easier to navigate through them this way.
In general, it is quite convenient. Thank you.
"I'm not always conscious of accessibility stuff when I'm programming - but I'd like to get better". I'm glad of it.

We read the code line by line, according to the words. Therefore, the quality is probably better, although I often encounter shortcomings in my own, and since it takes a long time to read a large code, I encounter them in the process of work.
