The finder has to work in a store aisle, on a phone, one-handed, and for people who do not see color or motion. That is the standard it is built to.

What is in place
- Search, filters, reporting and community checks are plain HTML forms and buttons: keyboard operable, labeled, with visible focus.
- Every stock state and signal has a text label and a distinct shape, not only a color, and colors meet contrast requirements on their surfaces.
- Result counts, form results and check results are announced through live regions.
- The map is optional. Every sighting is in the list first, and each map point is a real button with a spoken description.
- Motion is limited to the hero loop and a slow sweep on the map; both stop when your system asks for reduced motion. Nothing flashes.
- Location is never required. Typing a ZIP, city or state does the same job.
- Decorative marks and images are hidden from assistive technology; the wordmark reads as “WitchWatch.”
- Text scales with browser zoom, and layouts reflow to a single column on narrow screens.
Known limits
- Exact observation times require JavaScript to convert your local time; without it, “right now” and “within the last hour” still work.
- The map view shows approximate positions on distance rings rather than streets; use Get directions for a full map in your own maps app.
