Because I don't live in Sweden?


Anyway, together with few people we're currently building an app with no funding outside our pockets and no developers outside two of the founders, me included. This is costing us a lot of time and money (tens of thousands โ‚ฌ so far) and having to make it accessible is gonna add a significant cost to something that already costs a lot.

I wanted to add accessibility later, sometimes next year, but this means I'll have to do it before we go live which will postpone it and stretch our budget even more.

I'm not talking about something like VC funded businesses, but small independent businesses trying to create something new that captures a piece of the market and helps people while making us money.

    If you live in the EU it's likely the same regulations apply you as they do in Sweden. Why should a restaurant be allowed to not build something that's accessible?

    I live in the EU and no, it's not mandatory. EU really is not as homogeneous as people seem to think.
