> People also get "etc." wrong a lot, writing it as "ect", which presumably screen readers would fail at, too. You seem to be assuming that a screen reader's job is to somehow communicate meaning. It isn't.

> I suspect most screenreaders would simply say "Eff Eff Ess". Correct, thankfully. I don't really see a use case for screen reader-specific usage of the abr tag. If everybody else has to read "FFS", possibly h

> though I'd be willing to bet accessibility is still better on Windows. You honestly have no idea how much. Desktop accessibility in Linux, at least for me as a screen reader user, is a joke.

That's great to hear :) But just FYI, as a keyboard-only, screen reader user, I couldn't manage to get any sounds going in Firefox which is unfortunate. Not sure about the accessibility of your Android app as I don't have a

You definitely helped. There will probably be one or two other visually impaired people in the audience on Friday so being able to give a detailed description of what everybody else is seeing will be a huge bonus for them also. Thanks a l

I just tab to the slider and adjust it with the arrow keys, page up/down, etc. Same goes for many of the controls inside most apps. I don't have enough usable vision to use a mouse even a little bit. Thanks for your answers, I&#

.form-checkbox, .form-radio, .form-switch { input { display: none; } } All check boxes and radio buttons will be completely inaccessible to screen reader users if you use this framework.

They might look right, but they don't behave right with screen readers and other assistive technology tools, or with software designed to programmatically access, automate or test GUI controls. So it's a shame more software proje

Just FYI, your navigation menu is an unordered list, but all the links are in one list item instead of multiple ones.

Can you disable the automatic playback of the music, please? Screen reader users cannot hear a thing over it all. I know you're trying to create a tribute to the web of old, but this particular throwback is not one I think deserves a

You make some good points, and I agree that my original question, as it was phrased, isn't the best fit for a library such as this. Perhaps, what I should've asked is whether the demo, which developers will use as a jump-off poin

Inaccessibility is sweeping across the Internet but I honestly never thought I would see an introduction to a programming language, written by the creator of that language, include an example in an image. If it's "short", it
