Describe your critique images for screen reader members, and less motion if you prefer it

When you share work for critique, the images are the whole point -- which means members who use screen readers were missing the most important part. When you attach images to a critique submission now, you can add a short description of each one ("Checkout screen with a three-step progress bar"). Existing submissions get a sensible description automatically instead of silence.

If you've turned on "reduce motion" in your device settings, the platform now honors it everywhere: animations and transitions are switched off across the site.

We also adopted a standing rule for the future: any video or audio we ever publish ourselves must ship with captions or a transcript from day one, enforced by the same automated accessibility checks that now gate every release.
