Tech Update: SoundPad Accessibility (Patreon)

Greetings Patrons,

I got an email last week from a blind user who said he used to be able to access SoundPads using screen reader software, but was now unable to. I didn't think I had changed anything, but then realized that when I removed the way-too-long drop down menu (34 items) of SoundPad links in favor of a single menu page, I had accidentally killed that feature.

With his help I made some adjustments to the code of the SoundPad launch page and got it working again with screen readers. Other than that, it should be unnoticeable.

I did some research to see if it might be possible to convert the home page in this way but it quickly became apparent that it is a way more complex beast.

In other tech news I'm making progress on crossfading tracks on the ambience player. This has been a complex undertaking but I finally saw daylight a few days ago. I'll update you all soon.

Best,

Tim
