[orca-list] accessibility of snapt packages?

[kendell clark <coffeekingms gmail com>]

hi all

I've just switched from using ubuntu's built in software tools to gnome 
software and I like gnome software better. I've also been experimenting 
with snapd packages, which are apparently mounted archives 
containerized, or isolated, from other apps and your hardware. Can orca 
get at these? So far I've installed spotify, mostly because it sounded 
interesting, and orca can't see it. It uses gtk aned I believe webkit, 
but not positive about that, but to orca it's a blank window called 
"spotify". Can orca or atk get at these to read them? If not, will this 
ever be possible? I don't much care for spotify myself, but I know 
others do and it would be nice to finally be able to use spotify's 
native app instead of having to configure other music clients to use 
libspotify, which isn't even in ubuntu's repositories I don't think. If 
this isn't possible, is anyone interested in helping to add this if 
joanie doesn't have time? I'm a budding python programmer, although I 
haven't coded anything yet, I'm still in the learning phase, so I'm not 
the guy to start something like this.

Thanks
