It's too far back in my timeline, but I just installed blip, a free file transferring application on Windows. It works on other platforms too. The link I used was on a blog post where they discussed how it worked with Voiceover on the Mac. On windows? 100 percent inaccessible. I can't navigate anything at all. I pushed enter and it took me to a license agreement page. That's all I can get it to do. What a blah. I imagine it works fine on Android. How is there anything on Windows that is just 0 navigation at all. I can't move the navigator object in NVDA or anything. Absolutely nothing, like it's a video game. That's pretty rare to find something that bad.

It's a Java app, apparently using the desktop version of the Jetpack Compose UI framework. On Windows it uses the Java Access Bridge, which NVDA supports automatically. But something is preventing focus events from getting to NVDA. Blip is packaged with a tool called Conveyor, which uses the MSIX Windows app packaging technology which, when applied to desktop apps, adds some partial sandboxing; I wonder if that's screwing with the Java Access Bridge. I'll contact Blip about it.

@Matt Campbell @valiant8086 Nice to know compose apps can run on windows. Reading this I'm wondering about two unrelated things:

  • Can java jetpack compose apps run on linux too and how much accessible they are? I imagine java atk wrapper feels somewhat rough from my users point of view.
  • On an unrelated note is there a filesharing app that allows me to publish my directory listing and my peers will choose what they would like to download? I'd prefer a P2P apps similar how DC++ or IRC file servers operated back in the days.
