Looks like theirs is far more advanced than mine (mine would just generate a texture per string and cache it, the main problem it solved was being able to display non-ASCII filenames). I don't think there's much I could contribute to them at all.

>accessibility APIs expect you to export a tree of objects and push state updates

Is this an inherent limitation with the tech itself, or just an arbitrary API limitation?

This is the way these platform APIs are designed, you could theoretically make a screen reader that doesn't need that and just asks the app to recompute its state every time, but they don't currently work that way.
