Please give me feedback because I'm really not convinced in its quality/usefulness.

@jonathan859 Nice article. I had very similar experience a few months ago. My only difference is that I'm running this on Pixel 9A.

In order to give some more tips on what to explore next I'd say add @IzzyOnDroid repo to your f-droid install from apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/

Then some nice and accessible #opensource apps are:
@AntennaPod
#auroraStore as a google play alternative,
#catima - a privacy respecting app for lojalty cards,
@davx5app - contacts / calendar sync from your own server if you wish to slowly stop using google for that,
#fairEmail - nice very accessible email client,
#makeacopy - for scanning paper documents,
#newpipe - for playing youtube / bandcamp / soundcloud content,
#openKeichain - for signing / encrypting your emails with fairEmail,
#rsaf - for connecting to various cloud storage services including your own smb / ftp / webdav servers,
sms import export,
Speak that! if the talkback notification presentation is not enough,
walkers guide - nice navigation app
Ytdlnis - an yt-dlp frontent.

Perhaps there are more but I have browsed my apps list and recommended what I think is essential.

IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repository

Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg), with additional screening applied. Updates for the apps are usually fetched daily, and you can expect daily index updates.

@pvagner @AntennaPod @davx5app @jonathan859 we also have some nice client apps for F-Droid repos, which include download stats and show you which apps are (re)built reproducibly by our builders, see the screenshots at https://izzyondroid.org/ (and head over to https://izzyondroid.org/quickstart/ for details on them) And if you want to check our download stats with your browser first, head over here: https://dlstats.izzyondroid.org/

@pvagner Yup, I knew a few of them but not all. A great list for sure. Please correct me if this has already been done, but I was thinking about making an english awesome android accessibility list about good and accessible android apps, similar how @radiorobbe has done it in german, great resource btw. No idea if that already exists, but it seems much more logical to me than having to dig through random accessible android articles which, imo aren't very logical sorted, and neither is the site very responsive at this point.

@jonathan859 There is blind android users list at groups.io/g/blindandroidusers
I'm not subscribed to it as it's a continuation of so called eyes free list hosted at google groups a few years Ago.
My guess is that the community managed by @radiorobbe is much more organized.
blindandroidusers groups.io Group

Welcome to BAU (Blind android users) group. On blind android users , you are only limited by your own imagination! Feel free, express yourself, share your knowledge and help each other. Got any device news, apps that are useful to the blind, tutorial (audio or written) or anything related to that? Go ahead and share the good news! This group is unmoderated thus, this is solely for adults who have no need of moderation. Since we are adults, we can self-moderate, meaning we are able to be respectful of each other without the need of some moderation from the admins of the group. We ask that folks stay away from subject matters that result in getting people's feelings hurt. Thus subject matters like religion, politics, ethnicity and gender-related matter be kept off this list! Again, welcome to blind android users group and help give each other a reason to be on here!

@pvagner @jonathan859 Thanks, but that's far too much of an honour. 🙂 I only manage a small German-language Telegram group with around 20 members, and the app list on GitHub and an associated website at droidblind.de. There's also a German mailing list hosted at BLINDzeln project, but I'm just an ordinary member there.
