Our goal
This covers bubbleme.bio, the bubbleme apps for iPhone and Android, and creator bubbles. We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 AA across all of them: everything works with a keyboard and a screen reader, text has enough contrast in light and dark mode, motion respects “reduce motion”, and pages work when zoomed or in high-contrast mode. Today bubbleme partially meets WCAG 2.2 AA: the gaps we know about are listed below.
Motion
Small movements on a bubble, like links that float or a name that shimmers, settle on their own: some stop about 5 seconds after the page opens and the rest after a few loops, all within about 20 seconds. When a bubble has something that keeps moving (an animated or video background, rising dots, falling snow or a looping photo), a pause button sits under the Share button, and your choice is remembered on that device. With “reduce motion” turned on in your device settings, nothing on a bubble moves at all.
Text size and language
Text on a bubble grows with the text-size setting in your browser or phone, and the page reflows to fit. Each bubble also says which language its header and blocks are written in: the owner picks it under Profile in the editor, so screen readers read the creator’s words with the right pronunciation. Share and the footer stay in English.
The editor
Everything in the editor works with a keyboard, in light and dark mode, except freehand drawing in Draw and tracing round a cut-out in Cut out, which need a finger, pen or mouse; in Cut out, “Use the whole photo” works by keyboard. To reorder blocks, move to a block’s handle, press Space to pick it up, use the arrow keys to move it, then Space to drop it or Escape to cancel; a screen reader hears each new position. Move up and Move down are also in each block’s menu. After you add, delete or select blocks, focus moves to the next sensible place and the change is announced. The phone preview is a labelled region with the same content as your bubble, and every setting it shows is also in the editor’s panels.
Known gaps
- Some looks creators choose for their bubbles have lower contrast than we’d like. The editor checks text and secondary text (dates, notes, prices) against the background behind it and adjusts colours that would be hard to read, but a creator’s photo or pattern can still sit behind text.
- Image and gallery blocks need alt text from the creator; we prompt for it on image blocks but can’t write it for them. Profile photos are labelled with the creator’s name automatically, and cover images and link thumbnails are treated as decoration.
- Embedded players (YouTube, Spotify and others) come from those providers and follow their accessibility.
- We test with automated checks and by keyboard. We last tested on 28 October 2026. We haven’t tested every screen with VoiceOver, TalkBack and NVDA.
