Accessibility shouldn't be an afterthought. It really needs to be baked in from the start.

agree with you. accessibility will be looked into on high priority.

At the same time, this is not public infrastructure. This is a gift to you.

If someone gives you a broken gift you should tell them so they can return it to be mended..

If someone gives you a gift you think is broken, you ask them to empower you to help mend it. And if they offer to get it mended, you at least offer to go with them.

That said, yes accessibility should be prioritized.

That's not how it works with stuff people made personally.

Nothing in that list was "negative". They were all dry factual statements. Tone policing people for being "negative" when they're not is in and of itself quite a negative thing.

Seriously? The very first line was negative:

"leaves a lot to be desired"

If you don't want to be considered a jerk, in polite company you would say something like "This is a nice project. I have a few suggestions and bugs regarding accessibility:"

Unfortunately, people often file lawsuits over lack of accessibility (at least in the US).
