Unfortunately, stopped reading at one moment, because though the idea might be interesting, the packaging was unbearable. The obnoxious real time visitors counter seriously screws with my screen reader. I don't care how many people are reading this every 3 seconds updated not only with numbers, but with randomly chosen emois in my speech stream.
If you have a website, please, don't subject your visitors to something like that.
I'm sorry to hear about your bad experience. I've hidden the counter for screen readers. Please try again when you're ready.
Anecdotally, I don't use a screen reader and also couldn't care less on the visitors on the site. I doubt anyone but you is interested in this, and probably this number is slightly lower just because of that popup
Thanks for the change.
The combination of "I have an idea for changing one of the fundamental experiences of modern life" and "my website is obnoxious and hostile" didn't really work for me.
The entire website is accessible; I dedicated ample time to it. This was a minor oversight, but I wouldn't call it hostility.
Mistakes happen.
