I also disagree. Twitter has plenty of issues, that I'll grant, but being entirely run on FOMO? Plenty of domain experts in niche areas have twitter accounts, I've been able to learn a ton I otherwise wouldn't have without Twitter's platform.

Wow, thanks for the comprehensive reply! What would you recommend I use as a guide for the correct semantic elements? A11Y?
Ask HN: Areas with poor accessibility that can be improved by technology?
My university is hosting a hackathon with the theme of "accessibility"--which we are allowed to interpret broadly. My team is currently brainstorming ideas. So HN, broadly speaking, what areas/industries/niches have you encountered with poor accessibility that can be greatly improved by an application?

You keep referring to the "right" OS project, what do you mean by this? A project in Github trending?

As a current CS student how should I take this article? Only focus on the most popular languages and disregard anything that doesn’t fit as “trendy”?
