Plus one for react, though Svelte might be a good option as well.
I'm starting to learn react and I've heard of reasons not to use it (mostly
around performance and amount of JavaScript the app will have to download). I
suspect though, considering its current popularity, it will be around for a
while. And some of the complaints might be more relevant for very large apps.
If you do go with react, check out Grommet, https://v2.grommet.io. I haven't
used it but it's supposed to be veery good regarding accessibility.
Disclaimer, a good friend of mine is very involved with the project.
This article sounds pretty interesting as well:

If you want to get more bleeding edge, I've been hearing many good things about
Svelte, https://svelte.dev. It's gaining momentum quickly and is supposed to
address many shortcomings inherent in React.
If part of your goal is learning new tech, you're probably in good shape with
either React or Svelte.
Cheers,
Joel

I would definitely go with javascript and react. I do not think you need
bootstrap. React has the ability to do CSS and give formatting in such things
as font size and colors and stuff easily.

Hello guys,** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:-
this topic might be one of the more common ones discussed between
blind developers, but I thought it'd be worth bringing it up again.
I frequently think about creating my own website and tried several
different ways already. I studied computer science for multiple
degrees already and thus don't want to go with CMS like Drupal or
Wordpress, which I already tried, but it doesn't feel professional
enough for my taste. Thats why I always come back to writing my own,
which is not a problem per-se, but it won't just look great due to me
not being able to properly format the website.
I often think about GUI frameworks like Qt, which deffinitely need
people who can see and move stuff around from time to time, but thanks
to designing patterns like layouts, boxes and such, a good-looking
simple GUI can deffinitely be done as a blind person without having to
fiddle around too much withthe graphics. I wasn't able to find
something comparable in the web world yet unfortunately.
What is your experience with this topic? Do you have a website which
you developed on your own without sighted help or what did you ask
them to do for you? How would you approach such a thing?
I'm currently thinking about a new attempt in writing a page in react
based on bootstrap and some other pre-defined packages, hoping that I
can ask a gweb designer to do the CSS for me as soon as all the
content is finished, but i'm deffinitely stepping onto new territory here for
me.
Thanks.
Best Regards.
Toni Barth
