The amazing thing about open source services is, you can create interfaces for it the way you imagine them best. Currently testing #Pipilo, an iOS Fediverse client by @luckkerr which presents each timeline as a horizontal bar you swipe through to get to the next post. From a VoiceOver perspective, a slider control is presented and you explore the posts by swiping up and down, then explore the screen to discover things like links, replies in the corresponding thread, attached multimedia. Łukasz also makes sure that everything works correctly with VO and more goodies are already there in the current Testflight build. Glad to see this level of attentiveness to accessibility and a fellow Polish person coding fedithings. Give it a try. apps.apple.com/pl/app/pipilo/i… #Accessibility #A11y #Blind #iOSDev

On a related note, it's worth it posting your thoughts under a couple of hashtags on the fedi. Łukasz happened to interact with my rant on inaccessible photopickers last week and that's how I discovered his app. That's how you can expand your audience on here.

Ok so just went and got this because I'm terminally curious to see how this works. I'm really intrigued, but also still very much in love figuratively with Mona, so it'll take something pretty special to move me over, but as a scroll-through companion, I could see this being pretty cool!

Oh! I forgot to ask: is sign-in relatively easy or is there something I should know, like go memorize my password first or something? lol!

@pianomarian It logs you in through Safari so if you've stored your password in the Keychain, you should be fine.

Hi hello from Pipilo! ... This is really a cool concept. I still like Mona best, but will keep this one and send its alerts to the watch. ... This really is a cool idea. ... Did I mention how cool a concept this is? lol!

@pianomarian I think @luckkerr will be glad to hear that. Just wait for the next update where the posts will be read straight away as soon as you move the slider.

What I'd really like to do is reverse the timeline, because right now it's backwards to my way of reading. I haven't seen a way to change that, unless I missed it somewhere.

we have a handful of online supermarkets in the UK, and only the one uses this approach so that you can literally swipe up on any search result to add it to your cart. It's the only provider with a single flick per item, too.
No idea how it renders visually but it works well for VO.

@cachondo Ohh, there's one doing that here in Austria. Last time I checked, though, it read some random variable when you did that instead of reading out the current number of items in the card. Will have o check whether they've fixed it. It's such a handy mechanism.

and the developer is a really nice guy. I left the testing group a few months back because I wanted to give Nostr a try. Only realizing now that you can actually use both. Though, I have to be careful what I say on here lest I get booted, something that can’t happen on Nostr.

Tell him I said hello. 😊
