I love this so much. It's pretty much a GUI for #tampermonkey, offering an easier way for #blind folks to find elements on a webpage and do things to them. Yes, you could do the same things directly by just writing JavaScript yourself. But this is much, much faster, and requires a bit less knowledge. It took me less than 30 seconds to turn all the story titles on fanfiction.net into headings. Labeling a button, or making other small changes would be just as fast. The typos and slightly incorrect English put me off at first; especially the word "blinds" for blind people felt weird and derogatory. apparently the author is from #Cameroon, though, so maybe that's standard there. stsolution2.org/WebAccessibilizer/#a11y#accessibility#screenreader
Also looking at his other projects, he has something that he calls an "accessible slut machine". Not a typo, it's called that everywhere. Disappointingly it's an "accessible slot machine". #English is hard and I feel bad for laughing. But at the same time I was really hoping for a slut machine.
@fastfinge lmao! It sucks that laughing is the only thing I can do here, but honestly if English isn't your first language but you're making something for peple who do speak English, you might want to get that part right.
@fastfinge I know but you might want someone who speaks English to check or edit like an author does wouldn't you? Or maybe I'm just weird. I know I would want that if I knew that I might make a mistake like that.
@TSchulte Want it, yes. But I'm sure if I lived somewhere in central Africa, affording it would be another matter entirely. We're just lucky that we speak English, so anything we make we can just not translate at all. I have no idea what language is spoken in Cameroon, but I doubt releasing a program exclusively in that language is viable; it wouldn't surprise me if his choices were "do his best in English" or "don't release anything ever".
@fastfinge I've seen the blinds thing a lot too. No, we are not to be hung from your window on a chain, slid up and down and used to block out the light. We see no light to block out, as we are human beings who are blind.
@Orinks Yeah, but the AI bros won't bother making the slut machines accessible. You'll have to fill out a captcha before you can...Eh, I'm gonna stop right there.
