For the avoidance of doubt: this refers to a release candidate from a few weeks ago, and another one is coming up in a few days!

This is a bot to show NVDA add-on updates available at github.com/nvaccess/addon-data…
For now it should be considered alpha quality. It looks for updates sent to the views branch, (views/en/latest folder), every 5 minutes, trying to process individual submissions.
If multiple submissions are found, this bot will inform about the number of add-ons updated. For single submissions, the add-on display name, version, channel, homepage, download URL and SHA-256 to verify its integrity will be provided.
All this may be changed or improved, and, if I detect that something is wrong, will reply to the bot providing more details.
This is built using just GitHub Actions and for now removed add-ons will be considered just updates, but I'll address them separately if needed.

Bueno, tampoco nos podemos precipitar: ¿y si quiso que lo apuñalaran y luego se arrepintió? ¿Qué hacía allí a esas horas? ¿Cómo se demuestra que no se apuñaló él solo? ¿Por qué no llamó inmediatamente a Desapuñala? Es que se viste como apuñalable. Sigue poniendo fotos en Instagram y muy apuñalado no parece, la verdad.

"While some developers complain about the cost and time that accessibility features require, smaller teams are already proving that even without AAA-studio resources, accessibility can and should be an integral aspect for every title." wired.com/story/indie-studios-…
in reply to The A11Y Project

Aside: did this article pop up an inaccessible "special offer" modal for anyone else? It grabbed my NVDA focus. Couldn't escape, couldn't tab, couldn't even navigate with object nav. Ultimately I closed the window without reading more than the first sentence, but either something's broken here or I got locked out of everything and couldn't even accept the offer if I'd wanted to.

Anyhow, I'll pipe down now. Just thought that was a fun experience to have in an article about accessibility. :P
