Community

Pick your platform

The same community lives on two platforms. Discord is where most people are. Stoat is there for anyone who would rather not use Discord. Both lead to the same conversations, so pick whichever suits you.

Invitation links appear once you activate a button. They are hidden behind that action to keep automated crawlers away from them.

What goes on in there

Text, forum, and voice channels are all in use. Here is what you will find:

• Fast support

  Ask me anything about CheckFox. A question posted in the community usually gets an answer faster than by email, and the answer stays there for the next person who needs it.

• Accessibility help

  Stuck on a criterion, an ARIA pattern, or a stubborn PDF? Bring the case to a channel and get input from auditors who have already met it.

• Resources and references

  Articles, specifications, tooling, screen reader notes, and reference material shared and curated by members.

• Coworking

  Voice channels for focused coworking sessions. Camera off, mic muted, and audit alongside other people who are doing the same.

• Audit tips

  Real methodology talk: sampling strategies, evidence gathering, report writing, and the small tricks that make an audit go faster.

• Accessibility job postings

  Roles, freelance missions, and calls for auditors, posted by members and by organisations looking for accessibility expertise.

• And more

  Product announcements, early access to new features, feedback threads, and a few channels that have nothing to do with work.

A few house rules

Nothing surprising, but worth saying out loud:

• Be kind and assume good faith. Everyone was a beginner at some point.
• Practice what we preach: describe the images you post, caption the videos you share, and avoid posting screenshots of text without a transcript.
• Keep questions in the channel that fits them. It makes answers findable for everyone later.
• Sharing your work is welcome, repeated advertising is not.
