Is there a cross-platform accessibility library? I can tell you that developing a cross-platform GUI framework is a gigantic can of worms fraught with forced yakshaving, no documentarion, no support, and endless bugs across the stack even down into the OS and GPU driver stack. So in my opinion, everyone asking for accessibility features on every GUI framework announcement should get together and make a GLFW for accessibility libraries so that it can indeed be standard.

- bmitc 2y agoThanks. I'll take a look. But it being in Rust makes me a bit hesitant. A lot of these projects in Rust seem to fizzle out as soon as people get bored with them once they become hard. Do you know of anything major that's using it?
- Klonoar 2y agoGUI frameworks in any language often fizzle out when they become hard. Its probably one of the larger cases of devs not knowing the massive undertaking they’re embarking on when they start.
- cglong 2y agoNot quite what you're asking for, but Microsoft (my employer) has a free tool for checking web and Windows apps for accessibility best practices: https://accessibilityinsights.io/ https://accessibilityinsights.io/
