Vincent has been quietly improving web accessibility in Micro.blog behind the scenes, and it’s bringing some other benefits such as new keyboard navigation in the timeline. More we can do here but already I really like it.

@manton 👋 Cool site you’ve built.

@manton I like the vim-like j/k navigation!

@jaheppler @manton ha! Just tried this out and went "ooooh!"

@jaheppler @joshuapsteele That's thanks to @vincent. I wanted to remove j/k for simplicity but he insisted we keep it. Guess he was right! 🙂

@manton ALWAYS j/k

@pcora Stay tuned, we have some plans for "/".

@pcora @manton I know these are "slash commands" but my day job keeps wondering "why are they excited to be in the root directory?" 🤭

@manton @vincent is doing a fantastic job, really love the keyboard shortcuts, they're above and beyond what I had hoped for.

@manton @vincent 🙌 Amazing! Spotted a few nit-picky things (such as not needing to include the word ‘navigation’ in labels for nav elements, potentially too many labels around post actions) but this is already a great set of improvements. Dare I say it… finally!

@jaheppler @joshuapsteele Glad you like it! cc: @manton

@pcora /going to be awesome!

@SteveSawczyn That's great to hear and means a lot! cc: @manton

@paulrobertlloyd Great! We've had a bit of feedback from users that actively use these features, so it's encouraging.

@vincent nice!! You two got me curious!!! 👀
