Scientific Software in Light of the European Accessibility Act
Copy and paste, click and go, swipe right, drag and drop – these computer UI actions are so ubiquitous that they can be heard in everyday conversations.

Ensuring digital accessibility is a crucial consideration in our software product development process. This perspective becomes especially important with products that rely on heavy interaction through the user interface, a perfect example being a canvas-based application such as a chemical drawing tool. The following article outlines the importance of digital accessibility and explores its implications on software development.
