Core Cooldown v0.2.0 is out - and it's still completely free. This update brings the whole UI up to WCAG 2.2 Level AAA accessibility.
7:1 contrast, 44px hit areas, full keyboard nav, WAI-ARIA 1.2 screen reader support, Windows High Contrast, and reduced-motion support. 42 fixes across 18 components.
A break timer meant to prevent RSI should work for everyone. Portable, no installer, CC0 public domain.
Whisper Voice also got a big accessibility update! The whole UI now meets WCAG 2.2 Level AAA - 7:1+ contrast, full keyboard nav, screen reader roles on every component, reduced motion support, and I/O marks on toggles so nothing relies on color alone.
Still free, still portable, still completely local. Your voice never leaves your machine.
TypoGenie v1.1.0 is out. The app and its document output now target WCAG 2.2 Level AAA.
Full keyboard nav, screen reader support, native dialog modals, high contrast and reduced motion support. All color pairs across 165+ templates auto-validated for AAA contrast.
The Word docs it generates are also more accessible - tagged table headers, heading structure, document metadata.
Free, portable, CC0.
TutorialVault v1.1.0 - completely rewritten from Python to Rust + TypeScript on Tauri v2. Now targets WCAG 2.2 AAA - full keyboard nav, screen reader support, 44px touch targets, 7:1 contrast, reduced motion, and Windows High Contrast support.
It's a local video tutorial library manager with progress tracking, subtitle support, per-video notes, and drag-and-drop playlists. Free, portable, CC0.
OpenPylon v1.1.0 - accessibility update. The whole UI now targets WCAG 2.2 AAA. 7:1 contrast, 3px dual-ring focus indicators, ARIA live regions, dialog focus trapping, skip nav, keyboard-accessible context menus, high contrast mode, and 8-second toasts with pause and dismiss.
It's a local-first Kanban board for Windows with markdown cards, version history, and a command palette. Free, portable, CC0.
Vesper v1.1.0 - accessibility and light theme update. Full keyboard nav, ARIA landmarks, focus traps in modals, skip link, aria-live status messages, reduced motion support, and AAA contrast across both the new light and dark themes.
Also added content zoom and width spinners as non-gesture alternatives to scroll shortcuts.
It's a distraction-free Markdown reader for Windows. Free, portable, CC0.
Made a new thing. Driftwood - an AppImage manager for Linux. Browse 2,000+ apps, one-click install, updates, vulnerability scanning, and desktop menu integration. No root, no accounts, no telemetry.
Built with Rust and GTK 4, runs in userspace, ships as an AppImage itself. Free, CC0 public domain, WCAG 2.2 AAA accessible.
If you use AppImages and want something nicer than the terminal for managing them, give it a look.
@leadore no, not at all, just a tonne of CSS
but you can check out the gitea page for it directly - should probably fare better: https://git.lashman.live/lashman/driftwood
sorry again
@lashman @leadore It seems to be the JS, not the CSS directly? If I load the site with NoScript or uBO in strict mode which blocks all JS scripts, the page is fluid and uses 63MB of RAM, but with JS enabled it does make things worse
I'm not sure what causes that, probably the 3D animated panes when you hover over them. But I found a different issue:
Consider modifying the HERO - orchestrated entrance section in /driftwood/script.js for the page, because if I have esm.sh blocked, it'll set everything to opacity 0, add a listener to whatever framer-motion or motion includes
I think it's the !animate or some other check you've put in place, because with esm.sh blocked it still logs to the console that motion.dev was loaded successfully, despite it being blocked. It's loading motion/*esm from JSdelivr, but there are other components that appear to be loaded via esm.sh, like framer-motion, motion-utils and motion-dom.
It also loads motion/index.mjs from unpkg as a fallback if esm.sh and jsdeliver are blocked 😄
