Over the past month, I've been tracking down
mark, the creator of the groups.io platform. I'm pleased to say
he was more than willing to make the few accessibility changes
I've suggested, filling in some empty links with link text,
adding names to edit fields so screen readers can read the edit
name when tabbing, and adding a few separators when viewing
messages on the web so we can jump via separators. My next task
is to get him, and others, to add a bit more heading structure
throughout the site, but not too much, obviously. I really love
the speed of the site and want to keep it that way. Anyway, if
you guys have screen reader feedback, constructive feedback,
write to the below. I haven't told him about chat and calendar
edit fields not being labeled, nor have I suggested that chats
read automatically using ARIA yet. I figured you guys can do
that. If not, I am gonna continue to write to him, suggesting
changes. The email he gave me to give to the general public is
below.
I did suggest that he make his upcoming feature,
the ability to charge group members for access directly on the
platform, fully accessible though. This new feature will allow
group owners to charge to access the group.
