Hi @matt 👋

Yesterday in #LibrePlanet chat I named the #Makepad project, a real adorable 😍 effort that's still lacking on the #a11y side, i.e. could do with some #AccessKit on board.

Today I found out that Makepad is apparently part of a #Rust appdev effort, called #Robius. Another project here is #Dioxus.. also in for @accesskit #accessiblity support.. maybe. 🤔

Robius looks like a very loose conglomeration of independent projects. Maybe AccessKit is even a fit to it?

*sigh* getting Makepad to use AccessKit is going to be hard, because they're very strict about what dependencies they accept. They obsess over compile time. Of course, if they want to use our code as a starting point for their own, minimal-dependency accessibility implementation, that's fine with me.

I just joined the #Robius matrix chat, and gave a link to my toot above.

I created an issue some time ago in the #Makepad tracker about #a11y:

https://github.com/makepad/makepad/issues/196

Who knows.. maybe the wheel need not be reinvented again, right? And they are open to #AccessKit.

Btw, thank you for your talk yesterday. I really liked it, it was a great presentation.

Hi there 👋 I watched Rik Arends presentation at RustNL. Fabulous project (I immediately posted on Fediverse in excitement). Imho together with "local-first" this shows a paradigm beyond Web 2.0 whe...
