Hello Ken

I'm due a show. Last Christmas, not the one just gone, I did three, so it must be time again.

But, ever since the days when it became impossible to FTP them in, I am not so keen.

I certainly don't intend to do any WYSIWYG editing, although I do use, and write, JavaScript, and node, and typescript, and React, for my bread and cheese these days.

I'm sorry to immediately react so negatively, it's just that the letters WYSIWYG so often mean stuff that is 100% invisible to the screen reader. Or, almost worse, partially accessible only. So it's an immediate red flag that brings down the blinkers and the red mist.

So much software out there could be accessible if people gave a shit.

Hi Mike,

First our Project Principles say The priority is to keep the flow of shows coming in and going out, fix any accessibility issue that arise, then work on any other feature requests. <https://repo.anhonesthost.net/ HPR/hpr_documentation/src/branch/main/developer_information.md>

Second I said "The main change and only change you will see (if your are running   javascript) is in the upload form which now allows for WYSIWYG editing.

Which means that when you do not use javascript you won't even see the editor.

So no change what so ever.

I've tested the upload myself with NVDA, links, elinks etc, but you know the only way to be 100% sure is if a visually impaired person were to record a show and submit it.
