Bluesky is “screen reader accessible” the way a staircase with curb cuts on each step is a “wheelchair ramp.”
No keyboard nav. No useful landmarks. No focus memory. I lose my place every time I interact with a post.
Compliance ≠ usability.

I really liked those when I was a kid. I wish they would bring those back instead of some of the other things they bring back now and then.

That’s what most mail usually is these days anyway.

What's New > Version 1.19.5 New: • Added accessibility support and VoiceOver actionstt to the notifications tab • Any view that displays a list of users is accessible now • Added a view that lets you see who followed you to the notifications tab Bugfixes: • Fixed a bug that would cause the app to generate multiple requests at once thus slowing down loading of items • Fixed a bug that would display the + follow indicator for your own account • Fixed a bug that would reload the timeline when minimising a video • Fixed a bug that occasionally would not display the Feed-Chooser in the navigation bar • Switching accounts should work better now (still a little WIP). Push Notifications are now re-registered when switching accounts (when it works) • Fixed a bug that would only show anonymous push notifications from time to time (e.g. "Someone followed you")

v1.19.5 is available! 🥳
Amongst improvements for accessibility the general stability and performance of the app *should* also improve. Please let me know if something isn’t working for you.

Thank you for implementing this, it really makes a huge difference. I like what you’ve done with the rotor actions.

All of the buttons in the notification tab are still unlabeled.

One idea, when you’re in your list of people, have it to where you can tap on a drop-down and assign people that way. This way it is usable on iPhone and iPad and accessible.

Do you have a TestFlight link so VoiceOver users can test and provide feedback?

Welcome. It’s kind of neat over here.
