#52The accessibility of this leaves a lot to be desired: - There are no landmarks. - The keyboard navigation works poorly. - There are no live regions to show changing content. - The markup is a sea of divs and spans, so there is no structure to the content. - There is no visible focus indicator. Some of the advanced layouts do not work at all in Safari, accessible or otherwise.
To be fair, a lot of simple stuff doesn't work on Safari. I recently noticed that Graylog's static navbar is broken on Safari, and only on Safari.
I use Safari because it offers great battery life but I don't expect it to work well everywhere, it sucks as a browser.

thanks for your response. The project is still actively under development and accessiblity is something not yet fully implemented but the goal is to get there eventually very quickly. I have not advertised as fully accessible. Can you clarify a bit more on the keyboard navigation working poorly. may be logging a issue on the repo would help me to solve it quickly. as for problems in safari, i use a windows laptop and…
I understand the importance of accessibility (obviously) but I've see that there is a whole community whose first response to anything new is "what about..." as if its unthinkable that you would build a V0 without considering every possible special interest. I think everyone if pulled up by progress, and building something new, even if it doesnt work for everyone out of the gate is still a step in the right direction…

#55Nice! Many years ago I built something like that as my first JS project. Oh the days.

#56This is really cool! Does it support printing or converting to pdf well?
