Does this or any other newer toolkit have any support for accessibility?

I'm guessing the answer is no. This is the hill virtually all new UI toolkits die on.

Jeremy Soller seems to be committed to providing a11y-support:

"Comments like this do not read as genuine concern. It is designed to cast doubt on a project before it is even close to release, and the kinds of people liking this are evidence of it being passive aggressive FUD posing as concern. COSMIC will absolutely support a11y on release!"

I am really happy they are is committed to that, but boy is that tone not called for. Yes, Chris is a GNOME dev, but I've been following him for a long time and so far I never saw him spread FUD.

In regards to System76, he spreads a lot of FUD. Purely because we had some technical disagreements about themes over an anti theme petition and his pet project libadwaita. He's been an ass towards us ever since. Even going so far as collecting a list of grievances out of spite. He's one of the most toxic people you'll find there. Looking forward to his next blog post.

Doesn't seem to be on the roadmap, as of today.

The maintainer is on vacation and we just started fully committing to it. Check it again in a couple weeks to see how we're doing!

That would be great!
