Improve accessibility in other areas

Hi! I'm a blind player and I've been using Lichess during this last year. I really appreciate the effort made to make games accessible. It has evolved a lot and my experience has been improved. However, it would be wonderful if other functionality such as practice, board editor, analysis board, (this is partiallly accessible, but I know there is some functions that I cannot use), etc.

Currently, blind people like me are a bit worried by the situation. Online chess rises in importance, but most apps and websites are not accessible for us. I've shown how we can play on Lichess to my colleagues, but they are looking for a learning platform too. So these enhancements would be critical.

Thanks again for your effort and your attention!
I think it's awesome that you're playing chess as a blind player!

The forums are not the best place to put this though, the developers take feature reqs. and bug reports at github.com/ornicar/lila . You'll have to create a github account, but then you can file out an issue and request these features for the blind!
