Yes and no. Possibly, different mechanisms can complement each other. BUT I'd take advantage of structural info, which is possibly more available in libadwaita apps than in some frameworks. There might always be free-style content that needs exploring, but structured controls allow much more precise navigation, without possibly missing a weirdly placed item.

(4/4) In the mobile view, only either menu or content are visible, starting with menu. Thus, it would instead directly read out the available items, possibly assisted by gestures, e.g. tap: stop and re-read current item, swipe up: read previous, swipe down: continue reading, swipe right: select. Then continuing by reading the top level items, either settings or groups of settings, inside of WiFi.

(3/4) Question: Is one-tap-read-two-click really a good approach? It implies you have to tap around a lot to find stuff. With libadwaita it should be possible to do something like "read out top level items". For gnome-settings, in desktop mode it would read "menu" and "content: WiFi", indicating that WiFi is the selected menu item.

(2/4) libadwaita controls know about their state, e.g. settings dialog knows it's currently in the WiFi sub-dialog, even if the menu is hidden on mobile. Apps using those controls automatically benefit from all improvements there, be it default gestures or screen reader integration.

(1/4) While Purism is overwhelmed, understaffed and underfunded, I could actually imagine that GTK4 makes a11y simpler in the long run. Why? Purism created libhandy, now libadwaita in GTK4, providing consistent, complex, advanced, themeable controls, automatically adapting whole dialogs between mobile and desktop form factors.

@storm @lorabe @danielst @devinprater @wizzwizz4 @csepp @pvagner I just donated 50 USD to puri.sm/fund-your-app/ to fund "Software Optimizations: Accessibility support/screen reader support with phosh/gtk4" @purism I think we need to find ways to fund a11y support in gtk4, sticking with older unsupported versions is not going to be sustainable for long term.

@wizzwizz4 @devinprater @csepp @praveen @danielst @lorabe @storm I recall a thread where someone recounted some history behind all this, that there were several projects funded by the (American Council for the Blind?) to improve accessibility, but each time Microsoft (a big ACB funder) threatened to pull funding unless they dropped the projects.

And the reason appears to be: governments require accessibility in their software, so MS et al didn't want any threats to their monopoly over government contracts.

So to accuse OSS community of simply not caring enough to bother isn't really accurate - there is deliberate monopolism at play here. MS and Apple might appear to "care more" but only when it gets them access to tenders, and excludes the communal software from the competition.

Phosh is mainly developed by Purism, not by Mobian, Debian and especially not by Pine. The pinephone costs a fraction of the Librem 5, for the most part because they don't create the software for it. I paid 4 times as much hard earned money for an L5 as you, so that we can have that in the future.
Funding as well as volunteering are needed there.

Viele haben das mulmige Gefühl, dass sie etwas Falsches tun, wenn sie Facebook, Twitter oder YouTube benutzen.
Stimmt! Es gibt gute Gründe, die Social-Media-Großmächte zu meiden. Aber es gibt gute Alternativen im #Fediverse.

I created a table comparing the specs of 12 phones that can be bought with Linux preinstalled:
amosbbatto.wordpress.com/2020/

It is striking the difference between the amount of information that is publicly available for the PinePhone and Librem 5 compared to all the rest of the Linux phones that use Qualcomm Snapdragon and MediaTek Helio processors, which require NDA's to view their datasheets and don't allow the publication of schematics, because they are based on copyrighted reference designs.
