Thanks to Kevin White on #id24 for clearly describing how WCAG 3 is organized, and why.

I'm convinced -- this is a much better approach, and worth the overhead.

I translated "WCAG 3 Introduction into Japanese and it is available on W3C WAI website now.
https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/wcag3-intro/ja

I hope it will help Japanese a11y advocates to understand the outline and the intent of the working draft published on the 12 December 2024.
https://www.w3.org/TR/2024/WD-wcag-3.0-20241212/

I'm participating in the working group. I think it is essential to get feedback from different countries/regions to make WCAG 3 international guidelines.

Is there a good tool to check color contrast according to the Accessible Perceptual Contrast Algorithm (APCA) on a Mac? It's so cumbersome to visit a website and paste the colors by hand. Something like usecontrast.com would be so nice. #a11y #accessibility #wcag3
