   @matt Was going to suggest universa11y but apparently they’re a consultancy in Edinburgh.

   x11y? (Everyone loves a name that has an x in it and it can stand for cross as in cross-platform/language?)

     It's clear that the name of my AccessKit project (https://github.com/AccessKit/accesskit) is a recurring stumbling block. When mentioned without appropriate context, it carries the connotations of being an Apple API. Plus, there's actually another AccessKit, which ranks higher in a DuckDuckGo search: https://accesskit.media/

     So I'm actually thinking about renaming my AccessKit. The best names I can come up with are:

     accesslib
     libaccess
     a11ylib
     liba11y

     None of those are particularly inspired.
