Adam MacLeodCan anyone recommend a screen-reader-accessible, self-hosted package that provides a web interface that communicates the status of multiple machines? UP, down, maintenance, etc? I think UptimeKuma can do this, so will check that out. But also very interested in any recommendations. Please boost for reach.

rem<a href="https://front-end.social/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#a11y</a> people: I have a situation whereby a user returning to a tab in the browser, the content has changed - and there's a dismissable element visibly shown. I've added detail to explain what it is and how it's dismssed, but I'm unsure where the screenreader would be focused when it returned to the tab - whether it's stateful or not.I wondered if live region might be something I want, but I'm really not sure.Any suggestions?

TheEvilSkeletonAs part of our volunteer-driven accessibility initiative in GNOME Calendar, and for the first time in the 10+ years of Calendar's existence, we finally <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/559" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">completed and merged the first step</a> needed to have a working calendar app for people who rely on keyboard navigation. This merge request in particular makes the event widgets focusable with navigation keys (arrow left/up/right/down) and activatable with space/enter. This will be available in GNOME 49.Most of GNOME Calendar's layout and widgets consist of custom widgets and complex calculations, both independently and according to other factors (window size, height and width of each cell, number of events, positioning, etc.), so these widgets need to be minimal to have as little overhead as possible. This means that these widgets also need to have the necessary accessibility features reimplemented or even rethought, including and starting with the event widgets.We also hope to get other parts of GNOME Calendar accessible before GNOME 49, but I can't promise anything at the moment. We did start working with making the month view accessible: <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/564" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/564</a><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GNOME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GNOME</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Calendar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Calendar</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GNOMECalendar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GNOMECalendar</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GTK4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GTK4</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GTK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GTK</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Libadwaita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Libadwaita</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Accessibility</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#a11y</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a>

Rosita (she/her)I’ve updated the README for my **Rules by Rosita** WordPress theme with more details on the development process, design choices, and accessibility goals. I’ve been working on making the post-meta navigation accessible, but unfortunately, it’s not quite working as expected yet.

Nathan KnowlerPSA: CSS `content-visibility` is not ready in Safari even though it’s available. If you previously were using the feature as a progressive enhancement, you should also use a Safari-specific selector to ensure it does not apply. I keep on finding significant accessibility issues with the implementation.UPDATE: both issues that I’ve found are now fixed, but not released. I still highly encourage everyone to test this feature. Maybe even create some Web Platform tests.<a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/CSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CSS</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#a11y</a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/WebDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WebDev</a>
