@johann @stevenscott The only difference between a DMG and a zip is making the app and installing it pretty. We don't need that, plus it probably takes up more space, even unmounted. Just unneeded overhead. I think it may be required for the app store because you can package the app icons and artwork for a release in them.

@stevenscott Even better? Package our Mac apps as .zip and get rid of the DMG stuff...unless you plan on signing and releasing to the app store, that is.

@blindbat84 Yeah, I like it so far. I think fights can be improved, it scrolls by default but you can always do instant to get the result. That's the one minor accessibility thing I've seen so far.
@blindbat84 No OCR required. Its an Electron app so looks like a webpage.

I bought Ironblood on Steam for $20 expecting I would have to mod it. Turns out it happens to be accessible so far.
Yay. Codex fixed computer use in the most recent update.

A quick Accessiweather nightly build out to work around a feels-like temp issue and heat index. Fixed • Feels-like temperatures now keep showing in tray text when only one temperature unit is available, instead of falling back to N/A. https://www.orinks.net/accessiweather/downloads

Man, it's the little things. I was about to head to bed when I just had to fix my live weather widget on my site. Codex fixed it like a boss in five minutes. I'm disappointed that computer use and the in-Codex browser stopped working in a recent update, so then it tried to switch to Playwrite via accessibility agents and failed there too. The only thing it was able to do was a keyboard scan, which wasn't needed.
