Hello, I am introducing myself, my name is Youssef and I am visually impaired. I am contacting you because I have an idea to propose to you. I would like us to work together to adapt your software for the visually impaired. Why am I sending you this message? I am sending you this message because for us visually impaired people it is not easy to use unsuitable software and we cannot sometimes do what we like because the software is not accessible to us and I would like to adapt and make this accessibility that is not there. I hope you will accept that we work together. I am waiting for your response. Thank you and have a nice day. Best regards Youssef ---

Hi @Youssef_HAnditech , Not an expert in this field, accesibility is an important aspect to have in mind. I would suggest to start by studying accessibility in Pencil - Penpot design system, there are at least two extensions to help with this [Contrast](https://penpot.app/penpothub/plugins/contrast) and [Accessibility checklist](https://penpot.app/penpothub/plugins/accessible-design-checklist). Once done this I would suggest evaluating how it was implemented. Related with this you can check [this other post](https://community.penpot.app/t/pencil-the-penpot-design-system/7152/6)
