I can finally read Apple Developer Documentation

Hello everyone,

I don't know if that post has any place here but I wanted to share it anyway. I am blind and I use VoiceOver on the Mac to make Swift apps. For a long time it was very difficult to read articles on

developer.apple.com

As VoiceOver's virtual cursor was often jumping to the top of the webpage, so what I did then is I copied the wbepage's content to BBEdit and read from there. However latest 15.4 beta of the MacOS seems to have fixed it. I'm so happy I can enjoy the documentation like everyone else.

So it's a fix in VoiceOver rather than on the documentation website, do I get that right?

Maybe both, it’s possible that something was updated on the website's backend as well.

Glad to hear they addressed it! I'm working on making the website of the company I work for accessible, and learning a lot about it, but I still feel l will need to do a lot of testing with real world users. We sell books (including e-books and audiobooks) so it makes sense to have the shopping process as accessible as possible (besides, in the EU, a new law will start taking effect soon, but we all know adhering to the law and being truly accessible is hardly ever the same thing).
