#a11y






Many apps are inaccessible for blind/VI people. Developers usually have to implement #Accessibility features from scratch for each platform they develop on, which can scare them away. The good folks over @accesskit are trying to change that with their #Foss project, #AccessKit. Their goal is to create a cross-platform solution for accessibility that only has to be implemented once. I'm posting this to spread the word. Let's help them reach their goals! accesskit.dev/ #Blind #A11Y





Of course TwitterWrite is inaccessible.

• 10,000 characters with no `<p>` or other breaks between paras (all one `<span>`).

• Bold text is in `<span class="r-b88u0q">`

• Italic text is `<span class="r-36ujnk">`

The "Report link destination" command in NVDA 2023.1 is very popular. Press NVDA+k to report exactly where a link goes. This is an important #security feature for users. Do you use it? Read more in our In-Process blog: nvaccess.org/post/in-process-6… #a11y #ScreenReader #NVDA





@ebassi Both bug reports are missing what‘s the cause for Orca failing. Is there some kind of project that lists issues to get #a11y on par again?







*sigh*

Just because someone claims a _thing_ is “accessible” does not make it so.

Failing WCAG, the bare minimum, can be confirmed with a quick automated check: nested interactives (1.3.1/4.1.2), not dismissable (1.4.13), hidden items get focus (2.4.7), state not conveyed (4.1.2), heading mismatch (1.3.1/2.4.6).

This demonstrates why CSS-only widgets are inaccessible: adrianroselli.com/2023/03/css-…
