Remember loving to read comics on a Sunday afternoon when you were a kid? Maybe you don’t. In the past, traditional print comics have made it impossible for blind and visually-impaired readers to experience their heroes’ adventures first-hand. Today an increasing number of initiatives like comic book stores for the blind aim to overcome this challenge.

What if I told you that the web platform empowers us to even create comics for literally everyone?

Alongside a demo application, you see how accessibility best practices enable you to craft an immersive webcomic experience that is not only engaging for the sighted but accessible for everyone.

Crafting Comics for Literally Everyone

JSConf EU

Are you a fan of comics or have you ever dreamed of becoming a comic artist yourself? Then this talk is just for you.
In this talk we will see how both recent and matured Web APIs, including CSS3 and the Web Animations API can be leveraged to tell our own, rich and interactive stories on the web. We’ll take a look on how we can use Ember.js to help us create an online comic book that makes any comic art fan’s heart leap for joy.
