Building Slack’s simplified layout mode

Building Slack’s simplified layout mode

Tue, Sep 1, 11:30 PM
From A11yNYC - Accessibility New York City
4.8

This event will be online on [YouTube](https://youtu.be/2pzA8TkTP1Q) and in-person (New York City). **The speaker and live stream starts at 7:30 pm ET**. In-person attendees may arrive as early as 7 pm ET. If arriving late, please leave a comment on this page and someone will come down ASAP. **Description** Slack is a powerful hub for work and communication, but its dense and complex interface can be a barrier for users with motor, vision, and cognitive disabilities. To help more people use Slack effectively, we introduced Simplified Layout Mode on desktop and web. This preference transforms Slack into a single-column layout that is easier to navigate and has fewer distractions. In this session, we will demo Simplified Layout Mode and discuss its evolution from an accommodation request by an ALS advocacy group to a feature that benefits multiple audiences. Along the way, we’ll share specific examples of how its design was shaped by our partnerships with disabled and neurodivergent users. Attendees will learn ... * How to collect and synthesize feedback from different groups of users with disabilities over the course of a feature’s development * How to collaborate with internal employee disability groups to get feedback and build momentum around a feature **Presenter bios** [Chris Xu](https://www.linkedin.com/in/xu-chris/) is a director of product management of Slack looking after accessibility and design systems. Outside of product management, they have had a wide-ranging career focused on how technology and communities shape each other. They live in Brooklyn, NY and hold strong opinions about fruit. [Lena Wang](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lena-wang1/) is a frontend software engineer at Slack working on accessibility and design systems. Outside of engineering, she's usually mid-side-quest — whether that's walking the entire length of Manhattan on a whim, running a Taco Bell 5k, or competing in a city-wide scavenger hunt. She lives in Manhattan, NY. [Kaili Liang](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaili-liang/) is a Software Engineer at Slack, working on accessibility and design systems. In her free time, she loves chasing new eats, diving into books, trying various arts and crafts, and traveling. **Accessibility** The presentation will have human captions [CC], not automatic captions. For ASL preferred speakers, learn about the [Aira ASL App](https://aira.io/aira-asl-app/), and download it before the event. For the Blind and Low Vision community, learn about the [Aira Explorer App](https://aira.io/aira-explorer-app/) and download it before the event. To access the online webinar for audio description, use the A11yNYC Access Offer to call, or simply inform your Visual Interpreter that you'd like that offer applied when you connect. For additional accessibility requirements, please email meryl@equalentry.com **two weeks** **before** the event. **Livestream** [YouTube](https://youtu.be/2pzA8TkTP1Q) Provided by Internet Society Accessibility SIG. **Location details** The event is at 72 Spring street on the 4th floor. Everyone must be accompanied to the event on the 4th floor. Because everyone needs to be escorted, please arrive early or on time. When you enter the ground floor, a representative from A11yNYC will be there to provide elevator access. **Transit** The building 72 Spring street is near several transit stops: 6 train * Spring Street (non-accessible stop): 100 feet * Canal Street (accessible stop): 0.4 miles B/D/F/M trains * Broadway-Lafayette Street (accessible stop), 0.2 miles N/Q/R/W trains * Prince Street (non-accessible stop): 0.2 miles * Canal Street (accessible stop): 0.3 miles M1 / M55 Bus lines * Broadway/Spring Street stop: 500 feet Cabs and rideshares can let passengers out right near the building entrance. **Finding the building** In Google Maps, find 72 Spring street.
