Re:Electron 7.0 on Friday October 25, 2019 @02:26AM (#21352429)
I completely agree with this. As a blind screen reader user, Electron apps are 90% inaccessible to me and other screen reader users. Screen readers (on any platform) interact with the underlying libraries/ frameworks. Every operating system supports its own native toolkit. It's a shame that Java's SWT framework fell out of favor for cross-platform software. That is quite accessible. Unfortunately, blind screen reader users are overlooked when it comes to these types of underlying frameworks.
As a blind screen reader user, I rely on keyboard accessibility for navigating any type of tree. Now I know not to checkout your project as it would be of no use to me.
Re:CSS Grid – Table layout is back. Be there and be square on Tuesday January 31, 2017 @11:07AM (#13531716)
Windows based screen readers (more sophisticated than Mac's VoiceOver), let the users treat only data tables as tables and ignore layout tables. Also users can adjust announcement of only column headers, only row headers, both or none while navigating through the data table.
