Accessibility Statement

Last updated: 16 September 2026

Yaniv Levy works to make skyinfo.app usable by everyone, including people who rely on a screen reader, a keyboard alone, magnification or reduced motion. This statement says what we have achieved, what we have not, and who to contact.

Conformance target: Israeli Standard 5568, level AA (equivalent to WCAG 2.1 level AA) — as required by reg. 35 of the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities (Service Accessibility Adjustments) Regulations 5773-2013. We are partially conformant: most of the site meets the standard, and the exceptions are listed below.

Accessibility measures in place

Visual

  • Body and secondary text meet the 4.5:1 contrast minimum in both light and dark themes
  • Large text and interface components meet 3:1
  • A dark theme is available and follows your system preference
  • A visible focus ring is applied to every interactive element

Keyboard

  • Navigation with Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter and Escape
  • A skip-to-content link is the first element on every page
  • Focus order follows the visual order
  • Escape closes the sign-in dialog and the mobile navigation drawer

Screen readers

  • Semantic landmarks — header, nav, main, footer
  • Icon-only controls carry an accessible name; decorative icons are hidden from assistive technology
  • Data tables use header cells with scope, and a caption
  • Tested with NVDA on Windows and VoiceOver on macOS and iOS

Responsive

  • Content reflows to a 320px viewport without horizontal scrolling
  • Text scales to 200% without loss of content or function
  • Primary touch targets are at least 44×44 CSS pixels
  • Pinch-to-zoom is never disabled

Colour & motion

  • Status is never conveyed by colour alone — an icon or a label accompanies it
  • Animation respects prefers-reduced-motion
  • No content flashes more than three times per second
  • The accessibility toolbar offers larger text, higher contrast and reduced motion

Pointer input

  • Every function is operable with a pointer device
  • No feature requires a multi-point or path-based gesture
  • Map panning and zooming have button equivalents
  • Controls are separated so adjacent targets are not mis-hit

Known limitations

We publish these rather than claim full conformance. Each is being worked on.

  • Partial: Interactive charts expose their values in a tooltip and in the accompanying table, but the individual bars and points are not yet reachable one by one from the keyboard.
  • Partial: The interactive maps have limited screen-reader support. Every map page also presents the same information as text or as a table, which is the accessible equivalent.
  • Partial: Some form fields in the data-explorer pages are labelled visually but not yet programmatically associated with their input. We are working through them; if one blocks you, tell us and we will prioritise it.
  • Working: Airport, airline, city and country selectors are fully operable by keyboard and announced correctly.
  • Working: The cookie consent banner, the sign-in dialog and the theme toggle are keyboard operable and announced correctly.

If part of the site is not accessible to you

Tell us what you were trying to do and we will give you the information another way — by email, as a plain-text or spreadsheet extract, or over the phone. There is no charge for this, and we will not ask you to explain why you need it.

Technologies and how we assessed this

The site relies on HTML5, WAI-ARIA, CSS and JavaScript; it requires JavaScript to be enabled. This statement is based on a self-assessment carried out by Yaniv Levy on 16 September 2026, combining a manual keyboard and screen-reader review, automated checks in the test suite, and contrast calculation against the design tokens. It has not been audited by an external accessibility certifier.

An accessibility toolbar (larger text, higher contrast, reduced motion, readable font) is available on every page from the accessibility button in the corner of the screen.
