[Question] regarding Bacon Reader (self.Blind)
submitted by BARDLover
Bacon Reader just updated their UI, and I'm wondering if there are any users out there that have played around with it yet?
I can't figure out how to check my inbox, and would really appreciate some help if someones figured it out yet.
Thanks.

They really didn't do a good job with the accessibility updates here… The Messages button is now on the front page and a tab bar that you can find directly above the home button. Every single comment in a thread is now a voiceover cursor trap, wrapping the cursor endlessly around a single comment, not letting you go down to other comments in the thread without manually scrubbing around. Already given them feedback and posts and comments in the BaconReader sub, and they finally made me a part of the beta team so I can give them a direct accessibility assessment.

Thanks!
I noticed the cursor trap too, but thankfully I frequent a few other sites like that so scrubbing isn't too much of an issue for me. It is a pain though to not be able to quickly reply, save, or vote, and instead having to double tap and hold a comment to get a menu.

I haven't used Bacon Reader in a while, but I can try it out tomorrow and get back to you.

No need, /u/AwesomeSauceSayWhat figured it out.
The saved posts, inbox and search buttons have been moved to the bottom of the front page screen. Unfortunately I can't access it via swiping alone with voiceover, but if you tap the screen right above the home button on your iPhone it should let your select the button.
