New Mary Black website design
I am happy to let you know that Mary Blacks website has been completely
redesigned. The new site has a different look and adapts to all kinds of
device sizes automatically. Whether you access it on smartphones, tablets or
computers with large monitors, the site will automatically adapt to the
available screen size.
The discography section is also updated and now lists all the different
versions of a song that exist. There is even a sound clip for (almost) every
version of every song that you can listen to. Older sound clips that were
taken from vinyl records have also been replaced by cleaned up versions that
sound much better.
The new site has also been made usable for people who are vision impaired
and who need to use screen readers (thanks to Dominique Farrell for helping
me test this extensively).

MARY BLACK APP TEMPORARY ISSUE
As the Mary Black iOS app uses the website to retrieve its data from and
the new website is built on a different server technology, the Mary Black
app may give some issues for a few days. The problem is that I cannot test
and submit an updated version of the app to Apple for review until the new
website has gone live. But when the new website goes live, the current iOS
app version does not work anymore. Ill test the updated app as soon as
possible and hope that the review by Apple will also be swift. I am sorry
for any inconvenience this may cause.

RTÉ Player
I have worked continuesly with the RTÉ Player Team to improve the App so
that it is improved accessibility-wise, which it is, especially in LIVE,
all the programme titles are now labled and can be accessed live at the time
of broadcast.
