I am not the only one to say this:

Please remember that WCAG itself is the bare minimum of . Conforming to WCAG does not guarantee something is accessible. It does not even guarantee something is usable. All WCAG does is provide you with a starting point. Lots of WCAG failures suggest the page has not even made it to the starting line.

Which I say at the end of this post comparing free automated WCAG testing with manual testing:

Is thery ANY slider/carousel implementation that is considered to actually work good in screen readers?

MoritzGiessmann,
@MoritzGiessmann@mastodon.social avatar

@svenja I think the implementation of ZDF is okay, since it tries to linearize the content..

MoritzGiessmann,
@MoritzGiessmann@mastodon.social avatar

@GurpreetSingh does it linearize the content or at least make it accessible by just tabbing through?

Is there a clickable, 2-level, responsive with minimal javascript, simple design, header and only, separate, free to use, up to date, modern browser.

Features I'm looking for:

  • full keyboard / screen reader support
  • no javascript dependencies
  • functional without javascript

@matthias_ring You want disclosure widgets. They are simple constructs that require JavaScript. What you want to do can be done with CSS, but then you have potential WCAG violations. Refs:

VoiceOver / Safari / macOS bug(s) confirmation requested.

Visit https://cdpn.io/aardrian/debug/VoQbLm

Navigate the first table using VO table navigation commands.

Using Safari 17.5 / macOS 14.5, VO returns the count of all rows, even hidden rows. It also lets me navigate hidden rows.

VO with Chrome has no issue.

Attached video (no captions other than speech viewer) shows this in action.

Navigating a table in VO / Safari, where it announces every row in the table, even the hidden ones.

However, in Safari 17.3.1 Rebecca Mazur had a different experience.

VO / Safari does not announce all hidden rows.

After expanding a hidden row, she could not navigate past the new rows.

I cannot run an older version of Safari, so I cannot replicate it.

Looking for other folks with VO / Safari to tell me their experience — and Safari / macOS version numbers.

I want to have sufficient detail for a bug report.

Navigating a table with hidden rows, but then expanding those rows prevents navigating past them.

@aardrian the same devices that can run Safari 17.3.1 can run 17.4 and 17.5 if you just install the latest iOS updates. Both of those Safari versions list multiple VoiceOver fixes. In short, I’d suggest there’s no point submitting a bug report unless the issue can be replicated on the current version of Safari… because it seems maybe it’s already been fixed?

Kudos to Quezon City government for making their website more accessible. According to this article, the website is now passing the 2.1 at AA level.

I visited the website and, well, it is accessible I guess. But like other Philippine government websites, the UX is passable but still terrible lol. And it seems that they're using an overlay for the screen reader feature? Big ick for me.

I think there's a growing misconception in the Philippine government that equipping your website with a bring-your-own screen reader is a good way to promote accessibility. It isn't. But this is not the first time I encountered such, because BIR's website also sports its own screen reader for its chatbot Revie.

@teacherbuknoy That little widget introduces more WCAG issues than it solves.

As it is, a glance tells me that home page has issues (how do I pause or stop that cycling image?) and Axe dev tools finds some easy hits.

I appreciate they tried, but the firm doing the testing appears to have missed some stuff or never confirmed that fixes were made.

Still better than many municipality sites, of course.

[Nouvelle BD rendue accessible] Baisse de « charges »

Une BD très courte mais qui résume bien la situation. Je précise pour les plus jeunes qu'à l'époque où je l'ai publiée, un événement de ce genre était encore relativement exceptionnel. Évidemment, aujourd'hui, bon…

▶️ Lire cette BD : https://grisebouille.net/baisse-de-charges/
📗 Grise Bouille, Tome VI : https://editions.ptilouk.net/gb06
❤️ Soutien : https://ptilouk.net/#soutien

BD animée. Une femme décède à Paris après avoir passé 12 heures aux urgences sans voir de médecin. La femme est au ciel, blasée, sa perfusion toujours branchée. Saint Pierre l'accueille en lui disant : « Je comprends votre frustration, madame, mais voyez le bon côté des choses : le coût du travail a baissé ! »

Eventably, led by @karlgroves, are building an events management and ticketing platform with accessibility in mind from the start. They are currently searching funding via this Indiegogo campaign:

@SteveFaulkner I'm doing accessibility consulting work for a client with a Flutter app and ran into this exact problem! Deeply frustrating

@VamptVo @SteveFaulkner John's done fantastic work writing-up solution boilerplates for a range of mobile frameworks and situations.

And yeah, the more of them I read, the more I'm just like -- Flutter is bollocks for accessibility. I might start calling it Flubber.

I noticed that is barely useable with keyboard navigation on iOS/iPadOS. The UI herarchy does not translate into accessible tab navigation. The deepest reachable UI element is the vault switcher menu. There is room for improvement.

yuliyan,
@yuliyan@nahe.social avatar

@kepano Thanks for reaching out! Appreciate that.
So, there is actually nothing I could rank because tab navigation simply does not function at all. All I can reach with a keyboard is the vault switch menu. It is not possible to navigate the UI via tab/shift-tab keys and arrow keys.

Different areas of UI but also quite important: Scaling fonts, scaling font size of reader separately from UI, scaling horizontal margins of notes quickly and something like a focus-reading mode.

kepano,
@kepano@mastodon.social avatar

@yuliyan What I mean is which functionality do you find yourself reaching for the most, that you don't use hotkeys or the command palette for?

Definitely would like to improve support for tab navigation.

Note there are several focus mode plugins. Personally I use the focus mode in Minimal theme which can be activated via hotkey/command.
