Hello! I’m making changes to a web app that involves some aria classes, and I read the docs about how they work, but I’m not real confident in my ability to construct them into something that produces a well-usable experience for someone who’s using the app. Is there a good way to get direct feedback from someone who uses a screenreader, or otherwise get some evaluation on whether what I’ve fumbled together is actually functioning well?
Great to hear you focusing on accessibility! I’m on my phone and can’t type everything that should be mentioned but I’ve found that this article helps many developers I’ve worked with understand what’s expected and how to think

But overall, yeah, you should be able to test and verify this yourself. User testing is always valuable but they are also users, and are more or less proficient in these programs themselves so feedback can vary a lot.
If you want users, reaching out to organizations or social media groups that deal with impairment in different ways can probably help you find someone who’s willing
Yeah, this is pretty interesting. I’ll take a look + if no one gets back to me with an offer of testing I might muck around some amount with it myself.
