My name is Daniel and I'm a high school student in Singapore.
ReadAble began when I first got into web development and learned about accessible design. Things like semantic HTML or WCAG guidelines were not concepts I had in mind when I was learning how to make a website. Because I had never heard of the term before, I became curious and started looking into what it actually meant, and I quickly realized that accessibility was a real problem that many people weren’t aware of or talking about. Even people I knew who were also into web development had never heard of it. The internet plays such a central role in modern society, from education to communication to access to essential resources, which makes accessibility especially important. That curiosity turned into a desire to build something practical and useful, which led me to create ReadAble as a Chrome extension. Built using React, ReadAble provides simple tools that allow users to customize how they read content online, including adjustments to text size, appearance, and color. The extension aims to make everyday browsing more accessible for people with visual impairments while also helping raise awareness about why inclusive design matters.
