I'm looking at you, #Lufthansa #MilesAndMore and similar. 😜

I am far from being a web accessibility expert, but I tried reporting what I suspect is a keyboard navigation problem in OpenWRT's "Luci" web frontend user interface, particularly the main navbar menus, which I was unable to use on a computer without a mouse: https://github.com/openwrt/luci/issues/7901

I hope my hunches of "how it should probably work" are correct.

Mastodon/Tusky usability peeve:

When a post has a "Show more" button, and you click on it, and it's not merely another paragraph, but a six page brain dump… Now the "show less" button is gone way down to the bottom.

Better usability would be to keep the show-less button up at the top so I don't have to go chase it to the bottom.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

HTML Popovers Shown on Interest Should Be Accessible on Mobile Devices, by @utilitybend:

Reasons why it’s obvious that Freeform.app was and still remains half-assed:

No keyboard shortcuts

Extremely janky-jumpy zoom in/out

Search sucks

Shapes only align center to center, not top edge to top edge, etc.

Resizing is really bad

Can’t link to a shape from another shape

Lines aren’t intuitively going out of shapes, must be added separately to the canvas. They drop at a random place and need to be dragged twice to connect two shapes to each other. So bad I deliberately avoid creating any content that requires arrows or lines in Freeform.

Searching text in images works nearly everywhere in Mac OS built-in apps, not working in Freeform

And once again, keyboard shortcuts, really? Being able to add a description to an image is a must to pass the accessibility release gate (voice over), yet being able to use a keyboard for navigation and performing actions isn’t?

This app has been made poorly.
