There's a difference between saying no non-accessible media should exist and making changes to media which add very little and simply serve to make it less accessible than it already is.
Where do I say that I think this applies to the project in the OP? I'm talking about the idea of "driving screen-scrapers nuts". To implement the project just for that purpose is anti-access, which doesn't reflect on the project itself.
Actually many people think that the mainstream use of text and keyboards is inaccessible. My 84 year-old mother-in-law was quite bamboozled trying to do a bank transfer and the multiple tab forms, passcodes, 2FA SMS, etc
I would advise people not to click this for now. Right away it opens an alert generated from user content. Hard to say what other JS is being run from user inputs but best not to risk it.
When I click the link, I see some handwriting, and 4 images of an owl moving around. Then a second later, it redirects me to a site called debsys.com, which kind of seems to be a q&a site, or a demo of one.

[ 3.0 ms ] story [ 63.1 ms ] threadMy tabet comes with a pen, and my new Windows laptop does too. Tried it with the tablet and it worked well. Maybe there is something there?
At the very least it would drive the screen scrapers nuts!
If that's what you think this fun little project is, you have lost your grip.
notice: simple xss possible
BTW, I little of topic about the site, but on topic about handwriting. Is there any research about using handwriting on mobile as password?
Not just put your choice word and type on the keyboard, but writing using your fingers.
* people loves to draw penises (don't know any good way of preventing this, except require accounts)
* never be lazy with xss
