Convey important information in multiple modes (sounds, haptics, colour, iconography, messaging...) so no-one misses it. Take Spotify's shuffle button. It is green when on, white when off, but it has also a dot indicator. https://wearecolorblind.com/examples/spotify-shuffle-and-repeat-buttons/
It is not just about applying accessibility APIs, but about caring, and thinking of features that can make your app more accessible and inclusive to everyone. Twitter's alt-text feature is a great example. Thanks, @TwitterA11y! You'll be missed.
Too much data can overwhelm users. Very little is an incomplete experience. It is hard to find a balance on verbosity and the users may have different preferences. To help with this issue, the AXCustomContent APIs let you mark data as optional.
