RYE CITY REVIEW - Aug 27 - After experiencing discrimination for being blind while using online dating services, Andrew Kranichfeld decided to create his own dating app - Love is Blind, LIB. In 2008, the World Wide Web Consortium, W3C released its updated version of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, which said that web developers should include alternatives to text by offering things like content in video form, video captions and sign language interpretations. Yet, most of the dating sites out there offer any of the above. Working with Kranichfeld on the dating app is Jaime Urteaga, founder and CEO of Digital Chair, a marketing, web design and video production company. Kranichfeld hopes to launch his app by April 2018.
