Video description 3/3:
The "Add people" button is focused and VoiceOver output is "Click here to add people to this group chat, toggle button." Then the "Invite link" button is focused and VoiceOver output is"Click here to create or manage an invite link for this group chat, toggle button."
Why is this app all toggle buttons 😂
Video description 1/3:
Screen recording of a new, empty Bluesky group chat with VoiceOver enabled. From top to bottom, the UI shows information in 4 rows.

Note to future self:
Apparently the ~/Library/Metadata/CoreSpotlight folder gets FUCKING HUGE when using the Pages app.
It was well over 100GB. You deleted it and restarted. Your Mac is chill now.
The internet says you might have to do this every 2-3 days depending on how often you use Pages.
Video description 2/3:
First, user avatars (a purple fish and a blue fish), then the group chat title (a11y test - group chats), then "New chat with" and the user names ("Semantic Fish Net" and "Semantic Fish"), and 2 buttons ("Add people" and "Invite link").
Doing #accessibility tests. Sharing for edu.
Described in replies.
1) Button w/ visible text should be named w/ that text.
2) Don't put instructions in element names.
3) Don't put "click" in instructions. Antithetical to #a11y.
4) Instructions overly verbose.
5) Likely shouldn't be toggle buttons.

What's up, chat!
Group chats are rolling out today in the new v1.124 update.
This is our first feature built for communities, and there's more to come.

Illiteracy and a lack of interest in challenging one's self is not an accessibility issue except in its connection to lack of access to decent education.
