Hi all! I'm considering giving #RSS another try because I haven't been able to find a news app that works well for me. Before I jump back in, I'd love your advice on a few things:

I'm #Blind and use the #NVDA #ScreenReader, so strict keyboard accessibility is a must. I mainly read on my PC, though a companion mobile app would be a nice bonus. Does your reader play nicely with screen readers?

The last time I tried RSS, discovering good feeds was a huge roadblock for me. Are there directories, search tools, or tricks you use to track down the RSS links for sites you like?

I want to avoid the "huge pile of unreads" problem. How do you organize your feeds so they don't require high-energy maintenance?

Any tips are greatly appreciated!

I'm blind. I use a screen reader every day — to write code, to ship software, to navigate the internet.

Automated tools catch ~30% of accessibility issues. I catch the rest.

Now taking on 3-4 accessibility consulting clients for Q2. EAA is in effect — compliance isn't optional.

¿Did i ever boost Media without descriptive Alt Text?.
Please point out such #Boosts, i will remove them.

¿Did i ever post Media without descriptive Alt Text?.
Please point out such #Posts, i will be ashamed.

By #Descriptive, i mean the Alt Text must describe the #Media, much like you would describe a Picture or a Happening to a Friend if you can’t show it.
A witty Remark that does not describe the Media is not acceptable #AltText on my Profile.
