IMO, HTML is still closer to that ideal than anything else we have. My guess is that given a random web application and a random non-web GUI (especially if the latter is multi-platform), the web application will be more usable with a screen reader.
- slaymaker1907 5y agoI'd say markdown is even better than HTML for writing generic documents since it enforces simplicity. In particular, it forces a linear flow of the document and does not have any support for stuff like JS.

So, instead of you typing the description, let each of the drawn objects have its own description and made them discoverable and navigable. I think that Google were trying to make flutter2 components accessible, but it means starting from ground zero and building the same stuff anew.
