Looking for visually impaired testers (self.Blind)
submitted by elabftw
Hello everyone,
​
I created a webapp for research labs (electronic lab notebook) and I wish to improve the accessibility of said app. Normally it should be pretty good, but maybe I'm missing something obvious and that's where you come in!
​
Please have a look at the live demo: $1 and let me know if you have issues navigating or understanding what a button does or stuff like that :)
​
Cheers,
\~Nico

I'm not visually impaired and I don't even have a screen reader set up, but I did take a look anyway.
This isn't even directly relevant to what you're asking, but the first thing I tried was tabbing through elements to see how navigation is without mouse input. It seemed okay, but some buttons don't get highlighted (settings, etc.) and there is no way of accessing the "show more" buttons. Heck, they're not even proper buttons - just empty text elements - so these would be ignored by a screen reader. There was also no way to access the "create new" button.
I'm planning on getting a screen reader set up for my own testing, but won't do that right now. Obviously you could do that yourself too.
