Is there any traction for an ADA lawsuit here? Any lawyers care to comment?
I saw someone comment earlier that the ADA doesn't apply to websites. I have no idea about the actual legalities, but it seems like it would kind of have to be true. I mean, when someone creates the first version of a website as a part-time hobby, they very probably aren't aiming for anything other than "get it working". They aren't spending time catering to blind users.
Hell, most commercial publications don't even bother to put their graphs and such in colorblind-friendly colors, which seems like it'd be vastly lower-effort.

Usually that's going to be on the person who owns the building. Not some mom and pop restaurant. The big problem was really self owned buildings when the ADA was passed. But it's been literal decades now and the commercial real estate paradigm does not include small businesses building or owning their buildings.
it does apply to websites but it depends on some things. For example if you build a SASS application and provide it to a company. A big vector for this type of legal issue for a while was POS systems there was a big lawsuit a while back where all the major retailers were sued so that's mostly been addressed. If its required as part of a job being performed by someone with a disability aka not WCAG 2.0 compliant you could get in sued. If you do any kind of work that is tangentially connected to US federal funds or serve a government RFP(federal and most states) you will have to be ADA compliant.
Half the states in the US arent compliant with the ADA, that's what the Olmstead decision was about and it's still not fully enforced. You can try anything but few want to enforce the ADA like that.
