    This is your irregular reminder that if you are working on a new UI system and it isn't a toy just for yourself, then you should include accessibility in its design. Who knows, you might be designing it for your future self. You are only ever one accident away from becoming disabled.

    @csepp I wonder what the most common accidents to insure against are. "Accessibility" is too big a word, I never know what to do with it. But I've made progress in the past on:

    * make font sizes configurable
    * ensure color contrast

    @akkartik I think having keyboard navigation would be a nice milestone. If you can programmatically navigate the structure of the UI then you can probably wire alternative input and output methods into it.
