I want to say an important thing.
We reached 30 signatures!
Because blind dev community is small compared to similar dev communities,we
have to do everything as much as we can to show that these accessibility
issues are important for us.
I think that if we do our best, it could become important for them as well
because it can have a negative impact on their brand.
I saw a comment that said,
"Aleksandra Krupskaya·1 day ago
Hello!
I’m from JetBrains, and I wanted to say thank you to the petition author
for highlighting these issues. We’re continuously working on these aspects
and will continue to do so.
If you encounter any other issues, please don't hesitate to report them to
us!"
What can we do?
Share, share and share.
I sent this petition everywhere that I could, asked a lot of friends to
share it in their social media, and now I'm asking you to do this even if
you are not a java or python developer or you want to stick with another
IDE.
Some of our friends reported these accessibility issues around 2016.
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-111425
What we can ask is that we want accessibility issues checked and fixed
regularly before every major release and not waiting for us to report them
in every release manually.
Thanks.

QuentinC,
The title says Jetbrains products are not accessible and it includes
everything.
Thanks Lewis and all that signed.

I signed it. I know a couple of years ago I was trying to help my
daughter when I tried using it. Seems if colleges utilize it, it should be
accessible.
I hope it works.

*Subject:* [program-l] Accessibility of Jetbrains products needs your
support
Hey all,
As you know, Jetbrains created several popular and inteligente IDEs for
several programming languages such as intellij for java, pycharm for python
and ...
I have been reporting several accessibility issues of intellij, but the
process of reporting and solving these issues is very slow and takes a lot
of time to make IDE usable for our jobs, I created a petition to help
accelerate this process.
If you sign this, you help a lot as a member of blind community and
having these great tools in our toolbox can make our jobs better, and give
us more confidence in our jobs.
It can really save our jobs!
Please sign and share.
Your contributions can make a big difference.
