Über einen RSS-Feed können Web-Inhalte mit Apps abonniert werden. Besonders häufig wird dies zum Hören von Podcasts angewandt. Wie das blinde Menschen machen können, wird hier erklärt.www.kom-in.de
Maybe this could help FOSS developers make something like this for Linux or Android. This is an article from Apple Machine Learning, on how they made mobile apps accessible with machine learning:

At Apple we use machine learning to teach our products to understand the world more as humans do. Of course, understanding the world better…Apple Machine Learning Research
There's also a wider question about implementation, because codeberg isn't the only site that needs to implement some form of control mechanism in their sign up to stop them from being overwhelmed by bots signing up.
Our projects are small and often just 1 to a couple of folk. We all have our small fields of expertise and energy levels. How do we help each other to fix this?
How do we ensure that sites are #accessible for everyone? How easy are they to install and support? #a11y
So back in 2020 Codeberg asked for help from the community to help them with #accessibility issues. They need some help in house as the current solution helps them manage the spam that would overwhelm signups, but their moderation team is small. CAPTCHAs aren't very accessible and they would like some help to fix this. #a11y Can anyone help? The linked toot is their request for help.

In #389 it was reported that text editors were not accessible yet. Given that such a central piece of the software it not accessible by screen readers (and spell checkers for the matter) yet, it's very likely that there are other UI roadblocks, too.Codeberg.org
Here's the thing, the fancy-looking unicode characters almost never create words on their own, especially not those from the web, gemini or IMs, nor the ones for STEM fields.
A rudimentary look ahead "algorithm" can toggle transliteration on and off. We have transliteration mappings in every web CMS that deals with user uploaded files, because they need clean paths for SEO, just take the mappings from Drupal.

I blogged about text-overflow: ellipsis which can hide important content, especially when the viewport changes: yatil.net/blog/text-overflow-e…

While looking for workarounds to assistive technology needs for work, I found this article about a device that's basically two keyboards with screens attached, connected wired or wirelessly, made for use by Deaf people, and how Deaf people view it.

I blogged about WCAG Resize Text and Reflow. Two success criteria that are related but have actually very little to do with each other.

There seems to be a confusion about the relationship and how to test for the WCAG 2.1 Success Criteria 1.4.4 Resize Text and 1.4.10 Reflow. While these two success criteria seem related, they cover different use cases.Eric Eggert
If anyone hasn't joined the FossAbility Matrix space yet, you can, and it's got an off-topic room. The link is:
For Android developers, if you have fast swipe actions for doing things like deleting an item, upvoting a post, favoriting an item, playing an eppisode, stuff like that, consider using accessibility actions.
