@scottrut Amazon owns it and its book database, which is why, even though things like its recommendations absolutely suck, and you don't have control of your data, and the archive they'll give you is quite limited, any alternative like Bookwyrm suffers from the problem of people being easily able to find and track books and get recommendations for new things to read.

In reply to @scottrut.

@scottrut It's reasonably accessible on the iPhone, and you use the app with the Goodreads website to track the books you're reading, have read, or want to read. It also has some social capabilities. You can have friends, for instance, and see what they're reading/want to read/have read.

@jamminjerry Technically it's not halfway through the year until June 30. But yeah this year seems to be going by fast.

@bmoore123 This is going to sound counter-intuitive, but use the braille viewer to get visual indicat ion of what's being spoken. Jaws context menu, utilities, braille and text viewer, then braille viewer.

@Pawpower All right I'm in!

@technolass Congratulations!

@weirdwriter @AppleVis We wrote an extensive thing with a ton of block editor shortcuts. But no, all the tutorials in the world won't turn something that continues to be a rat's nest of workarounds and hacks into an accessible editor.

In reply to @weirdwriter.

@weirdwriter @AppleVis No.

In reply to @weirdwriter.

@weirdwriter @AppleVis absolutely burn you on these.

In reply to @weirdwriter.

@weirdwriter @AppleVis I totally get needing to pick a single editor, and in the case of sighted and blind content managers working together it's almost always going to have to be the block editor. But AV's declaration that it's accessible at this point is one hell of a reach. And we're still talking about simple sites. I'm just going to leave more complicated sites than basic text/image alone for now because spoiler alert: the block editor will +

In reply to @weirdwriter.

@weirdwriter @AppleVis You mean you resorted to copying all the html comments it uses for blocks? Because if so I should probably warn you that that workaround will work, until you encounter situations where it won't. Like lots of third-party block collections, or blocks with their own sets of settings, eTC. +

@Pawpower Also tell them that you regularly set things on fire for an extra freak-out bonus on their part. Entertaining every time.

@AppleVis Correction: presentation and content, not presentation and layout.

In reply to @AppleVis.

@AppleVis I'm not sure how you can claim something is accessible when you need to use an offline tool to compose your content. Also, the assertion that Gutenberg is primarily a layout editor is incorrect. It deliberately erases the line between presentation and layout and attempts to be Microsoft Word for WordPress, which it will never succeed at.

In reply to @KaraLG84.

@KaraLG84 Yeah the first one's not my favorite, but because it sets up some stuff for the rest of the series I always read it when rereading the series.

@babumenos @cambridgeport90 @_L1vY_ Also, I like Classic Press, but you can only call it easy for people who are comfortable with replacing core files or manually installing WordPress, or want to spend the time doing this along with all the maintenance that goes with it. Which I'm almost certain doesn't fit this particular situation.

In reply to @babumenos.

@babumenos @cambridgeport90 @_L1vY_ MB would need to pay for hosting at that point, and I think she's mentioned a couple times that that's not in her budget right now.

In reply to @redcrew.

@redcrew I have an idea for them: If you don't want me to reply to your email, how about not sending me email?
