Egui commit: Implement accessibility APIs via AccessKit
> And I’m just mentioning some of the unfixable problems with this approach
I agree that using a canvas instead of leveraging existing accessibility supplied by HTML/CSS/JS and the DOM is an accessibility nightmare.
However, I disagree that canvas accessibility issues are "unfixable". Difficult? Yes. But not unfixable. In my view, the element works best in partnership with its wider environment (HTML/CSS/JS and the DOM), not as a replacement for it. With that in mind, we can start to tackle the accessibility issues you raise - fonts, links, interactions, etc.[1][2]
I have an ambition to one day become intelligent enough to understand/code in Rust, and I'm really glad to see that people are thinking about accessibility as a fundamental part of UIs being developed in Rust.

[AskJS] Why do my coworkers not see the value in frameworks?
If, however, your company is set on this course, I very strongly suggest you use a canvas library - if only for the MVP. Here's my canvas library (spam alert!) ... even if you don't use it in your product, the library might help give you some ideas on how to overcome some of the responsive, interactive and accessibility issues you'll be facing.

TypeScript is terrible for library developers
My personal experience as a library developer, who has written my library in JS, not TS ...
TS is an excellent choice for a lib dev starting a new project today. I can see the advantages of using TS for the library code - in particular for a library that gets popular and welcomes contributions from other developers. However TS is a nightmare for someone like me who: 1. started writing the library 9 years ago; 2. has let the library get "quite" big; and 3. has only learned to use TS in the past year (for the day job) and is nowhere near to becoming a types expert.
I've had experience of people suggesting I rewrite the library in TS. Sometimes those suggestions have been quite 'evangelical' in their tone. As an (essentially) solo developer I just don't have the time, capacity or willingness to do that work - however much the end results might please others.
I also understand that having type definitions file for the library's interface is, nowadays, a critical factor if the lib dev wants others to use the library in their projects. But writing a .d.ts file for a large, mature repo to at least help those potential users can quickly turn into a World of Hurt. I know this because I've done that work[1] and I never want to do it again.
As much as I know that TS is a Force for Good in the JS coding world, there are days when I detest it!

Ask HN: Can you share websites that are pushing the utility of browsers forward?
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to showcase my JS canvas library, Scrawl-canvas[0], the aim of which is to help developers build responsive, interactive and more accessible canvas-based demos, infographics, art etc for their websites.
While the library is entirely 2D-canvas oriented and doesn't use any ultra-new tech like WebGL (or even less-new tech like web workers), it does play nicely with WebAssembly-ported tech such as ML models from MediaPipe[1] and TensorFlow...

Don't Write a Programming Language
I've never written a programming language. I have built a number of constructed languages[1] over the past few decades, which is an equally selfish (and thankless) task.
Less tangentially, I've worked for the past 8 years on building a HTML5 canvas library in Javascript[2]. I don't ever see people talking about JS libraries in terms of computer language design but I think, in a way, that is effectively what a (good) library is doing: building new, sometimes more developer-friendly, ways of conceptualising and creating programs that do stuff using novel APIs, syntax, state, etc.
There's a lot in the OP that resonates with my experience:
- "once you design a programming language you fall down a rabbit hole" - I've lost 8 years of my life to my project; but I've also gained 8 years of learning skills and insights that do translate to my everyday work as a frontend developer. For instance, almost all of my knowledge about accessibility comes from trying out many (many) different approaches to making the canvas element more accessible.
- "You keep adding new features that are really cool" - Guilty! My library doesn't need an integrated reaction-diffusion engine, but somehow it's acquired one along the way. Similar story with the reduced palette filter which, while a lot of fun to build and play with, remains too slow for use in production eg dithering live-stream video.
- "It also affects your communication with the rest of the programming community" - Because of the need for speedy calculations, I've developed an approach to programming Javascript which tends to avoid slower functionality. This sometimes leads to me writing code that could/should be written in a clearer, more concise and understandable way: 99% of JS code doesn't need to be super-fast, just fast enough!

What stack did/would you use to build your portfolio website?
I've used a Svelte|Page.js|Tailwind stack for both my poetry site, and my canvas library site. Despite both being content-heavy, neither have a database in the back end, just HTML partials served from an S3 bucket.
