Started working on Indigenous Desktop, because, well why not :) Currently connects anonymously like the Android version. Written using Electron, so will be available for all platforms! https://github.com/swentel/indigenous-desktop #indieweb

OMG! I can't wait for this! Can you do me and the rest of the blind community a huge favour and watch out for accessibility issues? I would like to help test, as well, if I can. Just give me a holler. The one thing I miss about Android ...

Will definitely watch out for that. I'm going to reuse the same code for a PWA, so I'll be able to run accessibility reports. If you have more resources/tools to test that, that would be great too! :)

That's the thing about electron; normally frameworks have their documentation; .NET, for instance, though I can say that regarding all of them.

Ok. Ultimately it's a web application, so I guess if I apply web a11y guidelines, I think I have most covered.

That's a start. I don't know though where there are any specific buidelines for the electron framework, is what I was trying to point out.

Would you consider making a Web client as well? I'd probably opt for Web then Electron if possible, but I appreciate that's probably more work

Yep, that's the idea. Electron will just be the wrapper to generate the packages. The rest is just jQuery and basic css (considered native JS, but I end up writing too many helper functions always).
