Thanks for trying it out. I had plans to eventually try Moonlander with
a screen reader, but you seem to have beaten me to it :p

So it doesn't read it at all? Not even as a big blob of text without any
formatting? I would've expected it to be un-formatted but still readable
considering it's still native widgets powering everything.

Though this isn't that big of a deal as I would've needed to create a
different "accessibility view" manually _anyway_, as the visual
formatting is done in a pretty hacky way that doesn't provide any
"structure" a screen reader or whatnot can detect.

Currently, there isn't any graphical settings. There is a config file in
your home/.config/moonlander/moonlander.toml, but no graphical
interface for it exists so far.

Considering I haven't done anything about accessibility software
integration so far, this is great to hear. I'll see what I can do about
the broken parts.
