Don’t rely solely on icons in your interfaces! I’m blind from birth and use the NVDA screen reader. This program reads aloud all my actions, system events, and text content. The crucial point is that it only reads text – buttons and elements with icons alone are not announced. Take the button under posts in Farcaster web (formerly warpcast), for example. It opens a menu with “Recast” and “Quote” options. For me, it’s announced as “Submenu button”. This forces me to either guess by clicking (which can be risky) or do nothing at all. Accidental clicks can lead to unintended actions like complainting a post or disliking it. That’s why it’s great when developers add proper labels to buttons – either in the value attribute or using aria-label=“name”. This HTML attribute enhances accessibility without cluttering the interface visually, making it understandable for blind users. Thank you for your attention! Please share this post – it’s an important message for developers.

Hello! I am a blind Farcaster user and I use the NVDA screen reader. I'm excited to join this awesome social network! Interface suggestions for Farcaster web: 1. The buttons on posts are not labeled properly. For example, I see the number “1” next to a post. When I click on it, a list with “Recast” and “Quote” options appears. It would be helpful to label this button as “Share 1”. 2. There is an action menu button above the post, which includes options from copying a link to blocking a user. It would be great if it could be labeled as “Actions”. 3. There are additional post actions below the “Share” button. I’ve been hesitant to click on them because they are also not labeled. Discovering their functions through trial and error is not very effective… Use aria-labels=“element name” for accessible interface. Many interfaces add icons but overlook accessibility. Looking forward to improvements! Open to questions & testing. Thanks for attention! Please share & comment.
