Hello friends,
I want to say thank you to Paul Boniol who turned me on to this list.
I am a blind IT enthusiast with some technical credentials but none that
really pertain to what I'm writing about today. That is to say,
programming isn't my thing :)
I have been very much interested in stocks and crypto for a while now
and found there isn't really a 100% accessible charting
solution......that is until I came across the Highcharts javascript
charting library. I notice they made a big deal about how they had
excellent accessibility and they provide multiple js modules for
accessibility. I downloaded the free charting package and opened the
basic line chart after importing the required js modules and I have to
say, yes, they really do and I'm sort of shocked no one has made a fully
accessible trading solution already. This is what I am writing about.
I'm happy to discuss the details about API's, how much this will cost
and so on if there is anyone who may be interested. Highcharts has great
documentation for their API including all about the accessibility
options they support. The end result should be a single html web page
with the bulk written in javascript. High contrast themes and all
accessibility options are already provided so there likely wouldn't be
much needed and I can even start someone off with a very simplistic html
page so you can get a feel for what I'm looking for. They also have
loads of demos on their site and you could probably use one as
reference. The reason I chose Highcharts is primarily for the
accessibility, but the Highstocks package comes with all kinds of
technical indicators and they claim it would be quite easy to code your
own as well. There are a few I'd want that are not included, but this
could be discussed far down the line.
I have gotten burned on Fiver and almost on Freelance so this is sort of
my last option. Highcharts support isn't really supposed to help folks
with development so they told me to contact a company called Blacklabel.
Blacklabel replied and told me they only work with companies, not
individuals. I only plan to use this for myself. I don't think this
would be too difficult for someone who is skilled in javascript, a bit
of html and maybe some css as well.
Sorry for being off topic and thank you for any consideration.
Cody
