I'd love to test this, however it seems to not be accessible with screen readers. I assume this is because of the GUI library not supporting accessibility. I found an open issue about this on the Iced GitHub where in 2024 it was mentioned that the version after next should support it, and the last comment was in february of this year (https://github.com/iced-rs/iced/issues/552 https://github.com/iced-rs/iced/issues/552) I bookmarked this so hopefully once that effort gets further along I can give it a try! I figured I'd leave this comment so that some folks can see that there are real people even on HN who require these features and that accessibility work is always appreciated. We definitely exist :)

Iced also has a roadmap: https://whimsical.com/roadmap-iced-7vhq6R35Lp3TmYH4WeYwLM https://whimsical.com/roadmap-iced-7vhq6R35Lp3TmYH4WeYwLM Screen reader accessibility is at least on it, although not until the release after next.

  Heh, that roadmap is also not accessible to screen readers, at least on FireFox. That's unfortunate. But I understand it's a big undertaking with little reward for most people. I do think there are UI libraries with AccessKit integration, egui I believe? Ah well. I'll check back on it every now and then either way.

    > that roadmap is also not accessible to screen readers It also has terrible navigation on mobile, even for sighted users. I gave up after a few seconds of trying to use it.
