What about JAWS and IE on Windows? Most disability groups distribute and use JAWS not NVDA. (Assuming OP is in the United States)


JAWS costs around $1000, NVDA is free. I'm assuming the person doesn't have the budget to buy JAWS. There is a demo for JAWS, but its 40 minutes, that isn't going to be enough to test a page (especially when you need to restart your computer for another 40 minutes).


Skip-links should also be accessible for keyboard users.


Good point, I'm not a fan of FaceBook but they do an amazing job of this.

If you tab out of the URL bar of your browser, Facebook has a huge accessibility skip links menu.


I can think of only one tool that will test, score and identify accessibility issues, as well as track progression/regression over time. A testing tool provided by User1st. uTester

That said, automated testing can test anywhere from 30-40% of WCAG, leaving the rest to be found by a manual review. If you are not familiar with JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver or TalkBack then a large portion of WCAG on your site(s) will go un-tested.

My question is: Doesn't f.lux accomplish the same thing, yet it is free and customizable?


I know that this was originally posted as a write-up by the New York Times, but I figured it would be nice to have a look at the actual paper. This goes in-depth on the various approaches taken, which may be of more interest to some people here.


My understanding is that with PICO-8 you can export to HTML5. If this is the case, (I haven't used this myself.. Yet.) why would you need direct support for mobile and Pi's? Couldn't you just change the dimensions of the app to fit mobile devices, and take advantage of the HTML5 support while on a Pi?


You can run PICO-8 games on a phone browser, but there are no virtual buttons for touchscreens, yet.

Pi is just a bit too slow to run the JS engine, it needs to be ported to native ARM for full speed.


Hmm.. seems interesting. Could this potentially be a more easily understood and adoptable method of encryption? Although, I am not sure how secure it would be to use accounts from twitter or facebook, as they contain personally identifiable information.
