Accessiblity is important to Fedora, and I take this seriously. For Discourse, hit the ? key to bring up the page describing keyboard shortcuts. If you find something you can't do, I'll report it as a priority bug. > Email lets me have full control of how I consume it.

It's true that the composer is a web thing rather than your own editor (although there's browser plugins for that...). And it's also true that the software changes and not necessarily on your timeline. But with that in mind: * Discourse does let you compose and save draft messages * There's a handy "bookmark" feature which I use all the time. You can give a reason for bookmarking something so you remember later, and give it a future time to notify you. > I tried loading https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/ in Lynx, but it's > way too "busy" to be able to visually browse it, and of course it has > the "best viewed with JavaScript enabled" tag, which is usually > kiss-of-death for Lynx users (in fact, I couldn't see a way to log in or > post/comment). I'm actually pretty impressed with how decent it is in elinks for a modern website. I do think you need Javascript to post, though. (And our elinks does not seem to be built with such support, which probably isn't sufficient anyway, alas.) -- Matthew Miller <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
