Want a blind accessible mode where turbofishes are animated on a braille display

[denizsincar29]

Hello. I am blind and came across this turbo fish website. I use a screenreader and a braille display to control my pc. I would suggest you to make a special mode where turbofishes would swim across the braille line.
Just make a line of randomly placed turbofish string, removing a character from start gradually and adding more turbofishes at the end of a line. A typical braille display has 40 cells, so we can make a starting point of line with 50 characters of turbofishes and random spaces between.
Than to move it right, start adding characters from left gradually: e.g. a space or a piece of a turbo fish. Go adding characters one by one until it's more than 50 characters in the line, than just remove last character of the line to not make it too big.

Hi! That sounds like a really cool idea. Two questions:

• Is it easy to detect with web tech whether a braille display is being used?
• Are you interested in implementing this? (I don't think I have time for it at the moment)

Also, was the site generally accessible to you, as in getting a good idea of what it's about, being able to navigate the little bit of content that's on it?

@jplatte Hello. Thank you for the comment. I don't think i can implement this on a website, but i can make a little crate for it and give you, that is an iterator of step changed turbofish swim.
Nope, you can't detect whether a braille display is used. However you can make something like url?braillemode=1 parameter.
Yes, the site is accessible with screenreaders very well. Well done.
Thanks a lot.

@jplatte I just published a dirty code of my braillefish to my github here
