Yet people do indeed make professional software with it, such as RemedyBG.
- mananaysiempre 3y agoIs RemedyBG actually accessible to blind users though?
- mwcampbell 3y agoNo. Just bought it so I could check. Edit: I'd be happy to spend some time helping the developer with this if they're interested.

- jakelazaroff 3y agoSure, if you put in a lot of effort you could probably make a professional app with it. You'd need to recreate a bunch of features that come for free in more "bloated" UI libraries. But you could do it! More likely, though, is that you won't and your "professional" app will just end up being bad for lack of those features.
- cxr 3y agoThis comment-and-response pair has a really weird "shape". You're offering a retort to someone who is communicating their position that you ought not do something, where the retort consists of nothing more than explaining that people are doing it. Yes, clearly. But what the person you're responding to is arguing is that you ought not do it. Consider the following hypothetical: Person A: Here's little advice: don't take up smoking. Smoking is bad for you. Person B: Yet people smoke—my cousin, for example. The point of the other comment wasn't that it isn't happening or that it's physically impossible to even try. Indeed, the fact that it's being done—or that people are attracted, at least, to trying to do it—was rather the entire premise of their "word of caution".

- stagger87 3y agoI see a different "shape". To me it looks like the same accessibility song and dance that happens every time a GUI library is the topic.
- mort96 3y agoIs accessibility not a worthwhile concern?

- stagger87 3y agoWhat answer are you expecting? This question is borderline flame bait.
- mort96 3y agoIt seemed like you were criticizing the "accessibility song and dance that happens every time a GUI library is the topic", as if you think accessibility concerns are over-blown. If that wasn't your intention, I suggest you clarify what you actually mean.
- tom_ 3y agoIt seems this might not be the case for American English, but "song and dance" is only ever dismissive in British English. The implication is that the complaints are a needless distraction, due to the relative insignificance of the topic.
- jakelazaroff 3y agoYes, that’s the case for American English too.
