I also recommend Dystopia for an excellent implementation of accessibility but I think a Web app is equally needed. Many of us need to procrasinate with Reddit on the desktop!

I would also look at the opinions on old and new Reddit which have very different methods of navigation. New Reddit has tried to implement accessibility navigation built in, but many screen reader users prefer navigating with page elements like on any other site which can be faster both because we already know the keystrokes but also because the page is often faster.

Best of luck. There's currently an app in beta called Dystopia for Reddit and it's quite great for a screen reader user. The developer has set the bar very high access-wise, so best of luck. I would recommend checking out his sub r/dystopiaforreddit

Definitely! There is Dystopia for iOS, but I'm not always on my iPhone. Other times I'm on my Mac or PC, so being able to Reddit there would be amazing!

Personally I use dystopia for reddit on my iphone but a web based sight would be nice.

The BaconReader iOS app has completely overtaken any redditing I do via a browser. I'd be interested in checking out a more accessible online experience for when I want to write up longer posts. Are you ensuring it will be WCAG compliant?

Well, this sounds pretty interesting. I use the official app for Android and it'll be nice to have a decent alternative. My only two requests are that it works well-enough on Firefox/Firefox Preview, since those are the browsers i use, and a dark/high-contrast theme.

​

I use NVDA and Firefox on Windows, and both Firefox Nightly and Firefox Preview on Android with ShinePlus as my daily screen reader.

I'll be happy to be contacted if you want to talk more about your project.

Hi, I'm interested in this.

Currently I use the official reddit app on my laptop, often using Read Aloud app for the speaker \[but sometimes it reads a lot of summaries before it gets to the actual thread I want to read\]. I have KC, so my Reddit is always on dark night mode. It's all about the dark contrast for me!

I'd love this! I hope the experience is minimalist, I mean, logically minimalist. I also was looking down the thread a bit, and you should test with NVDA, not JAWS, for a number of reasons, but the big thing is that if it works with NVDA it will work with pretty much any other windows screen reader.

For questions, reach out via my website, not reddit. I almost never look at my reddit inbox.

This is a great idea. Screen reader users get pretty good at finding various elements like buttons or lists or tables or headers to navigate around web pages but from experience and from hreading here reddit has presented some challenges.

Hi I would definitely be interested in this.



Currently I use the official reddit app on my Samsung s10.


I use magnification, enlarged text and select to speak.


I am open to answering any questions or giving feedback for this project if you like. Appreciate the effort!

Yeah I think this will be a good thing. I'm a screen reader user, and one of the things that is bothersome about using the website right now is that I haven't found an easy way to jump to the next parent. So like if in a thread, you have one guy comments and then he has like 25 replies, you read the first 5, but now you want to see the next level 1 comment, there's no easy way to do that. They give shortcuts for jumping to next post/comment, but they are irrespective of hierarchy. Plus, I find it more easy/normal just to browse the page like any other site rather than go into focus mode and use j and K.

This is exciting!!

For visual impairment.... Ability to change fonts, font size, and font color for readability. Some will also want ability to change the background color.

Thank you so much for asking!
