I’m an indie web developer that’s finishing up an app I’ve been building over the past three years, a platform to advocate for Medicare For All. One of my top priorities is ensuring the app is accessible to everyone. It gets a perfect score on Google Lighthouse for Accessibility, but accessibility isn’t just a checkbox for me; it’s a practical representation of my commitment and I want to make sure there are no obstacles to use for the disabled.

I’d love to get feedback on the overall user experience from those who use screen readers or related technology. I do have one known issue to start with. There’s a keyboard navigation problem on a particular element that I’m already working on. But in general I took great care building the app at every interactive or visual element with accessibility in mind, and even in choosing my development stack. If you encounter any challenges or have suggestions to make powerback better for the blind community, please let me know.

Thank you for your time and support, Jonathan
