Here’s a thread about the Mastodon client @ivory, and accessibility aka. #a11y. The app is in beta, so this is not a review so much as a followup to concerns I raised previously about the developers’ approach to this topic. (thread linked below.) Since I made that post two weeks ago, I’ve joined the TestFlight for the iOS version of the app, and can now write intelligently about the state of the app’s accessibility.

@[email protected] A question: will Ivory be accessible to screen readers? Have you included blind and visually impaired Mastodon users in the beta? OK, that’s two questions!  #a11y

@ShellyBrisbin pretty disappointing response for them. Lots of pretty iOS animations , but no edit button essential for #dyslexic users like me. As I’m losing my hearing rapidly, I’m more and more aware what an intimidating and challenging place the world can be when you don’t fall the norm-space. Sad to start on the wrong foot.

@blabberlicious The missing Edit button is something I just noticed today. I’ll cut them a little slack because it’s still in development. Here’s hoping though.
