is also an accessibility issue. Not everyone can use a mouse. Keyboard navigation should be the easiest possible thing to test and ensure works…
- troupo 2y agoIndeed. Good accessibility benefits everyone, even the non-disabled people. And that's even before we start the whole discussion on how everyone will be disabled at one point or another in their lives and so on :)

- troupo 2y agoYeah, it' a sad state of things. Since there's no real money in screen readers, no one invests enough to make them better (e.g. to work with highly dynamic interfaces). Since they don't work in a lot of situations, people are disinclined to implement features that don't work well with screen readers. It's almost an impasse
