It sounds like it could be interesting, but I'm a bit skeptical of anything that starts by saying that the existing a11y stack is so poor it's painful to use and compares itself to other fundamentally different OS's which have worse a11y problems. I've personally used various Linux OS's as my daily driver for many years, and I find it easier to use than the few times I was presented with a different OS just for printing or partitioning a disk for example, which I found quite painful to use.


I feel like instead of pissing and moaning about the state of a11y here on the best desktop OS's currently available, whoever is behind this project should contribute their obviously significant resources to the development and improvement of the existing a11y stack, screen reader functionality and character recognition options, and don't try to reinvent the wheel. I do believe that a plugin system already exists for Orca as well, as well as a rewrite of the code to make it more modular. Again, it's better to help with this effort than to piss and moan about the sorry state of things that already exist, all while trying to reinvent the wheel.
