Lichess has always been the most #accessible #chess website for #blind #screenreader users. You can play games there, analyze them, even do puzzles. What you can't do, though, is learn the absolute basics there.
The tutorials are not accessible, and this has been a problem for years from what I know.
I'm fixing that. I have the platform running locally, and already fixed the " collect the stars"-style tutorials so they work with screen readers. Once i'm happy with these changes I will submit a pull request upstream... let's hope they feel up to merging it once I'm done here. #lichess #accessibility #blindChess #webdev #openSource #tech
aaand all done :) let's hope the PR gets accepted some time soon
@zersiax I hope so. Maybe this will actually help me to learn chess once and for all.
@zersiax very cool. always thought about picking it up but was never sure where to begin lol
@zersiax Very cool; I've played a lot there a few years ago.
@clv1 chess.com is unfortunately entirely unusable for this demographic, and from what I've seen they're not chomping at the bit to change that. Given lichess is open-source I can fix this, at least :)
