To be clear, using canvas elements for UI is not inherently inaccessible so long as some accessible content on the page is also available to screen readers. Slint could in theory additionally render a kind of keyboard accessible overlay with invisible page elements, for example.

Edit: accessible -> inaccessible



Sure - that's the approach Google have taken with Docs, which switched to canvas-based rendering last year (https://thenewstack.io/google-docs-switches-to-canvas-render...). It's definitely not for the faint of heart though.
