oh that's really nice!

@vincent Looks awesome!

Nice! Thanks.

Sweet!

Excellent! 🙌

A simple addition, but one that was definitely needed. It looks great!!

@vincent Ooh, that’s nice. Thanks for adding this.

@vincent How can one zoom into a photo using a keyboard?

@paulrobertlloyd @vincent There's no way. I think first we'd need keyboard navigation for selecting posts in the timeline, like we have in the Mac app. That is probably a ways off.

@vincent How so? It appears posts are being embellished with JavaScript; if you were to wrap every image with a button, and use that to initate the zoom, you’d get keyboard access for free. Complicated, but not impossible.

@paulrobertlloyd @vincent You'd need to get focus to the button, though… I guess I generally don't have tabbing to buttons enabled. It feels awkward to me unless you can use the keyboard to navigate the timeline.

You can navigate the timeline using VoiceOver, though it would be easier if there were labelled landmarks. It’s been 4 years since I highlighted low hanging accessibility issues, many of which remain.

The newer mobile menu is a little better (you can access the dropdown menu using the keyboard), so that’s progress, I guess. And the autogenerated alternative text and improvements to editing photo descriptions is encouraging, but these features just scratch the surface. There are big wins to be had with just a little more focus on accessibility, I reckon.

@paulrobertlloyd Ah, I'm following what you meant now. Thanks.

Trying this out now on the Mac. Good addition. But does this mean that this is a step toward making the images in the timeline smaller or better still, in some kinda grid layout in case of multiple photos?

@pratik I would put it this way: if and when we have a different layout for multiple-photo posts, this will also help.

@paulrobertlloyd Hoping to remove the JavaScript rendering of posts one of these days.

@manton @vincent whoa, that’s cool. Very welcome improvement.

@Vincent That’d make things a little more robust sure, but there’s a lot than can be done without needing a complete architectural rethink! Accessibility doesn’t need to be brilliant on day one, just better than it was the day before; there have now been many days where things have remained the same.

@paulrobertlloyd @Manton @Vincent Absolutely agree. Little changes lead to big progress.

oh, I really like this!! Nice improvement!!! 👏 👏

A nice touch!
