Screen readers announce these as "dash button" and "plus button" so some users may not know exactly what they do. We can add more context with the .sr-only
class.
Hey! It looks like the Washington Post articles are coming in from 2005, not 2015. cc: @bennovack

Passing along an email I received after the #a11yhack that might be of interest:
Hi Melody – I didn’t get a chance to talk with you at last week’s accessibility hackathon. I had circulated News for Betty throughout a particular corner of the accessibility community, the one building GPII (which you saw demo’ed there), which uses cloud-based personalizations on any device, anywhere. You can learn more at http://gpii.net.
I’m writing to see if there’s a way to connect these 2 projects. That is, is there a way, via URL arguments for example, to enter NfB with selections already made for font size, news source, etc.? I’m not a developer; I’m just following up on a potential connection; thanks in advance.
Bootstrap already has a class that would make this easy: .sr-only
.
That way, screen reader users get the extra context of the link they're clicking on.
Betty's son would like to write you a thank you note. Could you please email me your email address? [email protected] 👍
Ideally, this could be added at the top of the page and allow users to skip down to the main content.
Allow users to toggle between a high and 'normal' contrast.
http://www.internetbuttons.org/ <-- kind of a neat idea. What do you need to have?
Of course, this needs to be as simple and intuitive as possible. Could either have:
or:
The current implementation only allows for a static number of articles to be returned. Allow the user to get more articles. Some ideas would be to use a paging control, add a 'more' button that would get the next batch or a way to specify how many articles to return. I think that the more button would be a good compromise of delivering the desired result and being easy to use.
Must be in root directory with filename 404.html
Hey guys,
Nice concept - quick and responsive!
I have a few suggestions from a usability point of view: I think that the font control area should be separated from the contrast button to clearly mark that they offer two different functions and are not related, the A's should be the word 'Text' to be more to the point and the icons should be more obvious (if you look at the header you see three large buttons, the icons within the buttons get lost). And also, the text 'Which news source?' could read better as 'Select a news source below.' And also, limit the width of the site as the wider it gets the more difficult it is to read from one line to the next. Oh, I know the source and the section are in the headline above the results but perhaps also highlight the selected buttons for easier navigation.
The alt attribute here should be more descriptive of what these controls do. It should almost function like a label.
If you can post instructions for getting the proper RSS address for other sites, I can add a few from the CS Monitor or CNN. Do we need the Yahoo API?
Hello,
I REALLY like this app. I have autism, its wonderful! Love it! What would be nice would be the ability to bookmark to a specific provider / category
I'm thinking this could be done using the history API to update the URL as items are selected? I could probably develop a proof of concept if you like the idea and want a hand with the development.
Cheers,
Jamie + Lion
So we can have a re-usable header/footer template across pages.
The Capital City Charter School would like to suggest that the buttons can be green or purple.
