Fun! I’ll get to moderate a Discord server for blind people that blind people can’t use on desktop!

Seriously, anything on GPUI reads as “empty window” to screen readers.

    How would a rewrite cause this to happen? Is there something about Rust frameworks for the desktop that exclude accessibility features?

    I’ve been working primarily with C#, but none of their frameworks exclude accessibility features… would be shocked AF if Rust frameworks just left that all out.

    I checked the gpui crate and it has an accessibility module that uses AccessKit, but I can't say if it actually works.

    Yeah, but this is Rust, not some single-dev pet project. You would expect a fully fleshed out framework to have accessibility features built in as first-class features, not some randomly bolted-on afterthought.
