What Blind Users Taught Me About Building Better Flutter Apps
This talk covers practical accessibility lessons I learned after my Flutter app unexpectedly caught on with blind users. I'll share what I got wrong, what actually matters for VoiceOver support, and how to build accessibility in from the start.
Key takeaways:
1. Adding semantic labels is just the beginning. Real VoiceOver support requires rethinking navigation, focus order, and how state changes are announced.
2. I'll cover practical setup and use of accessibility features for visually impaired users, including VoiceOver, rotor actions, and dark mode support.
3. Direct user feedback reveals friction points you'd never catch on your own.
4. Small fixes often have outsized impact on usability.
5. Building for accessibility makes your app better for everyone.
I'd be open to a 40-minute session if a deeper dive would fit the program better.
