Many Command Line Interface (CLI) programs unintentionally exclude users with disabilities due to overlooked accessibility features. This talk highlights the importance of prioritising accessibility in CLI design. We'll explore considerations, such as integrating auditory cues, designing inclusive colour schemes, and ensuring compatibility with assistive technologies. By focusing on creating readable and navigable outputs, developers can build programs that are not just functional but truly inclusive, enabling everyone to interact effectively.

Chuck is pioneering and advocating for improved accessibility with CLI tools and this talk definitely helps accomplish that goal. He shared a variety of actionable and practical suggestions for CLI development, and shared some of the challenges when it comes to accessible interfaces with focus on screen readers. Shared some of the prior art and groups working in this area as well. Great talk!
Great talk and demonstrations! It was very apparent that Chuck is super passionate about the content.
This was wonderful, I love seeing people care about this. The content was awesome and full of great ideas for ways to improve things. There is so much potential here since so little has been done so far. Literally inspiring.
Great to see the passion and reasoning for focusing on accessibility.
