Introduction of a user interface experiment

Dear

Are there people here who navigate webpages as a hierarchy? A hierarchy is
a structure, a structure principally manifests easy navigation if done
properly.
If there's anyone interested, I coded two showcase webpages, webpages that
go straight against (some of) the principles Sir Tim Berners-Lee created.
The first showcase can be heard and it shows the basis of navigation over
the structure, you can also find it online.
The second showcase (not yet online) conflicts with my Orca screen reader,
both on Firefox and Chrome it gives a different and undesirable result.
There I showcase input, radio boxes and links, besides navigation, and I
effectively scrape from Wikipedia and translate it to, and use it in, my
hierarchical structure.
In my opinion this same structure can be used for general computer
navigation. Also in my opinion, the principal advantage is less complexity,
fewer shortcuts (7 is doable for the second showcase, if I'm correct) to
remember, and that for both users and developers.
My principal influences are Modulix (a magnificent sales selection
software), Python, JSON and VIM keybindings. So in sales I missed a faster
user interface to navigate the sales software, and the fastest software I
worked with was Modulix which is keyboard driven. For many years I did
research in my spare time, learning how to program and then trying out
different solutions in the search for the fastest navigation possible. Some
9 years ago I, for the first time, figured out what seems best and that's
what I'd like to present here. So I'm curious (and a bit impatient too)!
For now, I stopped the developments in web technology and evolved to
desktop native software, gtk4 is broken in my opinion, so I started
developing with Vulkan. C is the way I proceed, by the way, I have plans
with C and those are using this user interface/structure to the fullest.
For those who care, my vision is still good, I wear glasses in my car and
I'm nightblind. I also make mistakes and I'm looking forward to every kind
of feedback. Feedback builds anyway, if it doesn't work, maybe others
profit, or I'm able to find an alternative.
And why I am addressing this list: sales people are unreceptive to
technology with unproven sales improvements, while blind people can only
visit 3% of the websites globally. There's a bigger opportunity and I'd
like to have the best chances to succeed.

Kind regards
