What is AccessKit?

[IDADV]

Hello, I am introducing myself, my name is Youssef and I am visually impaired. I am contacting you because I would like to understand what AccessKit is because I have a project to offer to communities and companies that create software to adapt for visual impairments, so I would like to know how your tool works and what it is used for. Thank you very much and have a good evening.

Best regards
Youssef

Hello,
accessKit is a library for UI toolkits, making it easy to implement correct, efficient and reliable cross-platform accessibility for the toolkit developers.

Simply put, user interfaces - windows, buttons, text boxes etc. are not developed from scratch for each application, they come as pre-built components able to form the end-user apps. AccessKit makes sure these components can communicate properly with screenreaders, which in turn make the apps built using them accessible, or at least it makes its components accessible.

Note this library is meant to be used only by the toolkits themselves, it's not something that would or should appear in the code of actual apps, only as a dependency of the GUI toolkit they use.

Hello @Handitech,

Have you checked the project's website, and this page in particular?

If yes, what in your opinion is missing and led you to start this discussion?

If no, what can we do to make this documentation more visible?

Thank you for helping us improve.

for the documentation for me there is nothing has changed except the website it would be necessary to adapt a little more that is to say to redo all the design with the paragraph which has a font size a little bigger and the titles H1 and the design as I show you on the images I quickly made a design on canva where we could do with a menu button at the top right or it rather takes to a page we choose which other page to go to and just at the bottom as we see on the image the name of the project and the title of the page just below then for everything that is the paragraphs and what do we tell in this page we could put on a black background here is my idea if you have other questions do not hesitate thank you very much and have a good day

best regards
Youssef

and here are the images for design on phone and computer

The website design is simplistic on purpose: to not require JavaScript and to adapt to the preferences you set on your web browser.

Thank you for the mockups, but we won't redo the website just now. Still if you think there is a bug, please open an issue in the website's repository.
