Greetings. Is sli.do accessible to persons with disabilities? Have you
developed it in conformance with WCAG 2.0 standards?

Slido <https://www.facebook.com/slidoapp/?rc=p> Hi Gary, Slido is not
compatibile with such standards at the moment. We try to do our best to
keep the Present view readable for participants and meet the color contrast
requirements, but we'd love to hear any ideas and tips that will help us
make it more friendly for people with different disabilities. Feel free to
send them our way at <EMAIL REMOVED> . Thank you!
