While I'm giving opinions on software, a quick thought on Gemini, a kinda semi-successor to Gopher: I'd really like a proper way to hide text from screen readers and replace it with something else that isn't visible, but is readable by a screen reader. Why? Well...

A while back, I did a blog post on redoing English orthography. I used a *lot* of "aria-hidden" along with some CSS to replace that stuff with a note for those using screen readers. This is necessary, as some stuff just wouldn't have sounded correct otherwise. I can't do that with Gemini. So, it'd be nice to be able to do that. Some way to say, "Don't read this; it'll sound like gibberish. Read this instead."
