@movq Curious what you would define as "suck less" software? (language agnostic of course!)

@movq Yeah that's why I'm striking this conversation with you πŸ˜… Not only do I respect your opinion quite highly 🀣 But like you say (and I've read their philipshpy) it can be a bit "elitism" for sure. I'm genuinely interested in what we think of as software that "doesn't suck". Tb be honest I haven't really put thought to paper myself, but I reckon if I did, I'd have some opinions/ideas...

@movq This is a really good example of "simplicity" but achieves the intent and goals πŸ‘Œ

(Now, I don’t know if your screen reader can work with this. Let me know if it doesn’t.)

I don't use a screen reader fortunately (actually they're pretty garbage). So all good πŸ‘ (I juse use full-screen zoom).
