Welcome!

This category is a place for our community to discuss and provide feedback on the accessibility of GitHub products. Accessibility refers to access by people with disabilities.

What is accessibility?

Accessibility is about creating highly usable products for all of our customers, no matter their physical or cognitive ability. If you're new or curious about this topic, you might enjoy the W3C's Introduction to Web Accessibility.

If you have a suggestion for improvement, a feature request, or just want to share your thoughts, let us know in the discussions here. We love hearing from our customers with disabilities!

I really appeciate the dark blue tone as that's the colour I see best in. I'm aware we should see at night especially with warmer tones but it makes my eyes watery so I think it helps. i think Calibri is a great font also. not sure if that's what's being used nbut I will recommend it personally

Good morning, I'm blind, and I've been using copillot in vscode, along with the NVDA screen reader.

It happens that, when opening a java class and starting to type, I hear a sound from the extension informing that there is a suggestion, but I don't have a shortcut or command for the reader to read the suggestion.

I can only see what it is, when I press tab or when I press high + enter.

If anyone can help, I appreciate it!

[benjiallen]

@jeanbrazcosta thanks for this feedback. This is something we're aware of and we're working on making the experience better. I'll circle back when we think we've got a better experience.

Thank you. There is a quiz application I developed using Flutter and published on Github. This is an accessibility themed mobile app for visually impaired people. I want to make it accessible for people. How can I make this application visible in the community?

[AIBlockchainGuru]

Please make your accessibility-themed quiz application for visually impaired users more visible in the GitHub community, here are some effective strategies:

1. Optimize the GitHub Repository
   Clear README: Ensure the README file is informative and clearly explains the purpose of the app, its features, and how it supports visually impaired users. Include installation instructions, usage examples, and contribution guidelines.
   Tags and Topics: Use relevant tags and topics in the GitHub repository settings to categorize the project. Tags like "accessibility," "Flutter," and "mobile app" can help others discover the project.
2. Engage with Other Developers
   Join GitHub Discussions: Participate in GitHub discussions related to accessibility, Flutter, or mobile development. Share insights about the project and invite feedback from other developers.
   Collaborate with Contributors: Encourage contributions by making it clear how others can assist in improving the app. Issues labeled "good first issue" can attract new contributors.
3. Promote on GitHub Social Features
   Star and Fork: Encourage friends, colleagues, and supporters to star and fork the repository, which increases its visibility on GitHub.
   Showcase Projects: Use GitHub's showcase feature to highlight the project if it meets the criteria. This can help attract attention from the GitHub community.
4. Share on Social Media and Forums
   GitHub Community Forum: Post about the project in the GitHub Community forum to reach a broader audience interested in open-source projects.
   Social Media Sharing: Share the GitHub link on Twitter, LinkedIn, and platforms like Reddit, specifically in communities focused on accessibility and mobile development.
5. Create Engaging Content
   Blog Posts: Write blog posts about the development process, challenges faced, and the importance of accessibility in tech. Share these posts on platforms like Medium and link back to the GitHub repository.
   Demo Videos: Create short demo videos showcasing the app’s features and how it aids visually impaired users. Share these videos on YouTube and social media to attract interest.

I'm really upset, I can barely use GitHub now.
I often hear"Hovercard. Press Alt+Up to activate"
This is really a stupid design.
What the hell is GitHub’s accessibility team doing?

[devking9562]

To be honest, I don't know well

[AIBlockchainGuru]

I understand your frustration with the hovercard feature on GitHub, especially if it's impacting your workflow. Here are some steps you can take to address the issue:

1. Keyboard Navigation
   The hovercard feature is designed to enhance accessibility, allowing users to interact with content without using a mouse. If you're encountering difficulties, try using the keyboard shortcuts effectively:
   Press Alt + Up to activate the hovercard when focused on a link. This should allow you to navigate within the hovercard using the keyboard.
2. Feedback to GitHub
   If you find the hovercard design unhelpful or cumbersome, consider providing feedback directly to GitHub. They have a dedicated accessibility team that works on improving user experience. You can submit your concerns through their support channels or GitHub Community forums.
3. Browser Extensions
   If the hovercard feature is still problematic, you might explore browser extensions that modify or enhance GitHub's interface. Some extensions can help customize how information is displayed, potentially bypassing the hovercard feature altogether.
4. Stay Updated
   Keep an eye on GitHub's changelog and blog for updates regarding accessibility features. They often release improvements based on user feedback, and staying informed can help you adapt to any changes that might enhance your experience.
   By taking these steps, you can hopefully improve your experience with GitHub and make the platform more manageable for your needs.

Github is incredible at making their products accessible. I say this because it's the first site I go to for applications due to my eyesight. it can be complex but they listen and honestly, thats what counts

[Bab219]

if co-pilot can be enabled to possibly work with voice assist or the braille service?(I'm colour blind so I don't use braille ), I think that would be an incredible idea. A lot of us already have the hardware. it connecting it to the right channels that a hassle
