@jcsteh Thanks. Yep, that was also an issue a few years ago. so it seems there's no change.

@erion @jcsteh Actually there has been quite a bit of progress, Goguma (mobile IRC client) is probably the best representation of this.

You'd need a modern IRC server that has direct support for webpush. I believe Ergo is the only option at the moment.

Failing that the IRCv3 chathistory feature is the next best thing but this requires periodic poling.

And for older servers you'd have to use a bouncer. Soju is a good option for that since it supports webpush.

@erion Basic Android TalkBack seems to work but I can't judge how it is in practice. The app is developed using Flutter so I imagine it works about as well as other Flutter apps do. I also see a couple of places in the code that seems to tweak various labels for screenreaders.

The author @emersion would be able to confirm.

@zrzz @emersion Huge thanks for taking the time to check, based on this, it seems quite promising, at least the author is aware of screen reader users which is always a plus.

I can't test it as I don't have an Android-based device myself, but this is a good start.

@erion @zrzz Jean Thomas has spent some time tweaking Goguma for screen readers indeed (he also maintains the iOS port)
