“We prefer collaboration tools that utilize standard menu organization & typical keyboard commands now well known to users from the stand-alone desktop environment. Standard controls require far less learning from the user, whereas specific accessibility modes with custom keyboard commands, & with menus that shift their location on screen pose significantly steep learning challenges to most users with disabilities, not just users with cognitive and learning disabilities”

"it is important to highlight that Full Keyboard Access (FKA) on Flutter does not exist. If you are planning on building an app using Flutter, FKA users will not be able to use your app"

@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.

Mobile Tabs Part 2 – React Native

"Love it or hate it, it’s hard to deny how easy (relatively speaking) it is in React to develop two apps with a single codebase. React Native has been around since about 2015, and if you’ve been in the accessibility space, you’ve probably heard some warnings to not use it due to a lack of accessibility customization or remediation paths."

As a companion to my ALT LEFT article I created a bookmarklet to annotate decorative images and make them available in the accessibility tree

"AI can help by providing mostly accurate descriptions of images on web pages. This can be especially helpful when the image has not been provided with an text alternative, but is visible on the page."

You are having a laff Thames Water

my average daily water usage was around 22 litres, then in first quarter 2024 has gone up to 4,750 litres a day and from £30 a quarter to £1418.
I have canceled my direct debit, there is no way I am paying this amount for water I did not use.

🗒️Not so short note on aria-label usage – Big Table Edition
Updated: 22 May 2024

@SteveFaulkner It looks like the h1 to h6 aria-label column says "no" but is highlighted green, which appears to be a bug

@SteveFaulkner@mastodon.social avatar

@cbrails thanks, fixed 🖖🏼

👉🏼 A SIMPLE CUSTOM
Had reason to re-read this recently.

“For whatever reason some people don’t like the standard HTML checkbox and radio button, they seek to jazz ’em up and in the process the often jizz up the usability/accessibility of these controls.”

Drag and drop accessibility has always been a thorny subject to provide useful practical advice for, until @siblingpastry mapped out:

“After 14 years, the chances are you are going to have a change of government, but you don’t give up on that basis. You fight against it, try to minimise losses and hope something turns up. Who knows what crises might occur during the next three or four months?”
