Accessibility & Privacy
Product safeguards built into the shared shell
Accessibility and privacy are product requirements, not add-ons. Minerva's Tools combines client-side input processing and no account gate with a global accessibility layer and focused utilities such as a WCAG contrast checker and color-vision simulator.
Accessibility Controls
The shared accessibility menu lets visitors adjust text scale, motion, contrast, link treatment, typeface readability, and spacing. Settings honor system preferences and persist locally, with keyboard focus management and screen-reader announcements built into the interaction.
Private by Default
Files, colors, text, and other tool inputs are processed in the browser rather than sent to an application server. Visitors can use the core utilities without creating an account or handing over personal information.
Tools That Teach
The contrast checker, color-vision simulator, typography tools, and inline guidance make accessibility part of the creation workflow itself, helping users evaluate output while they work instead of treating compliance as a final audit.
