How's the accessibility?

I haven't worked on screen reader support, yet. Support for alternative text input is built into SDL. UI size scaling is a feature I plan on adding eventually.

    Well, that's why :)

    For most serious applications, accessibility isn't a second thought, it's a requirement and it's very hard to implement correctly.

    • So the solution is to build applications around less of a common base? I don't follow the logic, with respect to Zed. I get what you mean if there's a first-party UI solution in your language (e.g. Swift), but in that case you don't need an open-source UI library.

I'm not trying to troll here, asking seriously: are there any immediate-mode GUI APIs with good a11y?
