@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.

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.

I forgot to share this: New AccessiWeather nightly build out with the following changes/fixes: Changed • Forecaster Notes can now show official NWS Surf Zone Forecasts for regional beaches where available, with surf/beach condition alternatives from supported global sources when an official SRF product is not available. Fixed • Feels-like and heat-index readings now ignore implausibly warm provider values when the current temperature and humidity do not support them, while keeping valid humid heat-index and cold wind-chill readings.
