have I been missing something or this brakes every accessibility rules? how can I "slide" without a mouse? It seems I can't even tab to the sliding enabled elements.

Sliding the numbers isn't the interesting part (I agree, it is horrible from an accessibility perspective). The interesting part is the automatic updates.

Of course, if you can't slap your own UI (or there aren't better UI's), then that's problematic. Given the author's other work, though, I don't think that is a problem.

It works perfectly fine on my android phone.

indeed, but I couldn't find a way to make the sliders work without touching the mouse. maybe there are some keyboard shortcuts that I couldn't find. also I believe you should be able to tab over the page to reach any input element, for consistency.

I can't even scroll his main website[1] with the keyboard if I enable Javascript. Thankfully it degrades nicely without the latter.
