Accessibility</h2>

The latest 3.1.0 release of keyoxide-web</a> greatly improves accessibility and ensures that it works nicely together with screen readers.</p>

To make sure the implementation of accessibility features was as thorough as possible, it was first ran through a series of automated tests, namely Lighthouse</a> and WAVE</a>, both giving Keyoxide respectively a 100% accessibility score</strong> and 0 accessibility errors</strong> on every page.</p>

While automated tests are a decent start, nothing beats feedback from the actual target audience: good ol' human beings.</p>

After posting a message</a> on the Keyoxide fediverse account (keyoxide@fosstodon.org</a>) to call for help from people who use accessibility tools like screen readers, I received plenty of feedback about little quirks that went undetected by the automated tests. These were all addressed and fixed.</p>

So I can now gladly confirm that the Keyoxide website should be WAI-AA</strong> compliant, meaning all text has a contrast ratio higher than 4.5:1, all links and images are appropriately labeled for screen readers and even the profile pages can be navigated by keyboard alone.</p>

I once again thank the people that have provided the invaluable feedback without whom the result of my efforts would have proven unsufficient.</p>

If you find more quirks and/or annoyances, please do file an issue on the code repository</a> so it can be fixed as quickly as possible.</p>

#keyoxide on IRC</h2>

Keyoxide was just about to request a channel on freenode when sadly, well, that</em> happened.</p>

So now, it is with delight that I can now invite you all to our #keyoxide</strong> channel on the great libera.chat</a> network. In addition to our Matrix room, this is one more place where we can hang out and discuss the future of identity on the internet. And many other things.</p>

And yes, of course I have already proven my identity on IRC using the IRC guide on Keyoxide</a>.</p>

Signing off</h2>

For all your questions and suggestions, be sure to join the conversation in the Keyoxide matrix room</a> or the #keyoxide channel on libera.chat</a>. Or raise an issue on Codeberg.org</a>. All contributions (including PRs!) are welcome.</p>

As always, the source code is available at the Codeberg.org repo</a>.</p>

All work on Keyoxide is possible thanks to donations, the project stands against VC funding. If you feel like Keyoxide is a step in the right direction for netizens worldwide, please become a patron</a> and help the project do its part in the global fight against the internet corporations.</p>

Until next time,
Yarmo</p>
