Difficulties to set up communication + accesskit set up problem in an application

[nvrrdt]

Fosstodon is invite only. The email on accesskit.dev isn't reachable. I tried emailing Matt through his email on his personal Github account.

Now rests contacting you through an issue here.

So, I'm trying to set up accesskit for a Vulkan c program I make on a Nixos with Cosmic, but I build and test on Ubuntu with Gnome, because Gnome should work. But it doesn't ...
Do you have any pointers to direct me in? Or do you know of troubles with the technologies I use?
I created code with the help of Claude ai and kept in mind to use Orca's focus mode, it is connected to at-spi, ...

I really want to make this work, because I'm figuring a new way of navigating a computer. You see, an html website is actually a tree of lists and I let go the design part and use the same tree for presenting elements on screen as well as steering the screenreader. I don't know if anyone already tried that before. (also I have difficulties finding fair feedback, I think that's because it's either too experimental or either too obvious as people might think nothing about the concept futurewise)

Best regards

Hi. I did get your email. I'm sorry I didn't respond yet.

You can look at the SDL example in the accesskit-c repo to see how to use AccessKit from C in a cross-platform context.

Hi Matt, thank you and no worries. An hour ago I saw that not the SDL example was implemented, so I changed it in the meantime. Tomorrow I install Ubuntu on my desktop and work from there in the future simplifying the feedback cycle.

Hi @nvrrdt, we are sorting out the email issue in the background.

AccessKit should run just fine on NixOS environment. We will need more details on your technical setup to figure out what is not working. You mention Vulkan, can you elaborate on how do you open the window on which you draw? Have you made sure to properly report the window focused state?
