So include accessibility features in your already existing third party app and problem solved? Or does it need to be an app exclusively for people with disabilities?

[-] OofShoot@beehaw.org 21 points 2 years ago

"Non-commercial" is still going to kill all development for all the third party apps regardless. This is surprisingly worse than their original decision, because now they can try and pretend like it's other people's problems to make their website accessable.

that's not true. There are open source 3rd-parties like Infinity that are non-commercial.

Infinity is awesome, I'm really going to miss it

The developer hasn't said Infinity's being killed afaik, he appears to be considering having users enter their own Reddit API keys, although really that's going to be a barrier for some

This isn't a viable solution in my opinion though, depending on whatever restrictions Reddit chooses. Atm we know the new API won't allow access to NSFW labelled content, but there could be other limitations coming when users start plugging their own keys into apps

Thanks, I have no idea what "entering your own API key" even means, so yeah, definitely a barrier for me
