Release v1.4.0 — accessibility statement, a "/" switch and an Accessibility category · poli0981/softharbor

Accessibility: a public statement of what the site aims for and how to
report a barrier, a round of fixes, and a new category of assistive
software.

The display menu has a new switch for the "/" search shortcut. Your
choice is remembered in your browser as sh:keys, like the other display
choices, and never sent anywhere. The Privacy Policy lists it, so the
consent dialog asks you to accept once more.

Accessibility Statement
in English and Vietnamese: the target (WCAG 2.2 level AA — a goal, not a
claim that every page meets it), what the site does, how it is tested,
what is known not to work yet, and how to report a barrier — by email to
accessibility@poli0981.dev, no GitHub account needed, or with the new
Accessibility issue form. ACCESSIBILITY.md in the repository says the
same for contributors, and pull requests now come with an accessibility
checklist.
"Keyboard shortcut “/”: On / Off" in the display menu, for anyone who
sets it off by accident — with speech input, for example. Turned off, the
"/" hints disappear too.
An Accessibility category with eight apps: the NVDA screen reader,
Optikey for typing and controlling the computer with your eyes, Balabolka
and eSpeak NG for speech, Thorium Reader and Bookworm for reading, and
Colour Contrast Analyser and Accessibility Insights for checking your own
work. Also new: Orkas, a desktop AI workspace. 15 categories in all.

On a narrow phone (320 px wide) or at a large zoom, the language and
display buttons move to a second header row instead of off the screen,
and whatever you tab to no longer hides under the header.
The focused choice in the display menu has a visible focus ring of its
own, and the language switch no longer clips its ring.
With a Windows contrast theme, the current section, your display choices
and the current language stay marked.
Category links on app cards are bigger targets; screen readers hear the
filter button as "Filters 2 active" and a search error as soon as it
happens; tables have captions and scroll with the keyboard; "Report a
bug" says it opens a new tab.
The automated accessibility checks now also fail on moderate findings and
cover every kind of page in both languages, plus the open dialogs.
The AI Disclosure names the model used for this release.
