Add Accessibility to Roadmap

Open Luciaisacomputer opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

Accessibility is extremely important and I think it would be amazing if that was mentioned somewhere in the roadmap, specifically within the basics section. That might help boost the number of developers actively thinking about how to best build universal experiences for all users.

Hi @LukePettway. Thanks, it's a really good idea. Could you provide some useful libraries for improving accessibility in React apps?

Hi Adam, Here is the React documentation page on Accessibility https://reactjs.org/docs/accessibility.html

Here is the basic accessibility tutorial (useful for any front end framework) I generally recommend to people. It's created by W3: https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/ Hope this helps, and feel free to ask me if you have any specific questions on accessibility or accessibility resources

Including accessibility early on in the foundational steps of HTML and JS would be useful.

Calling out the react a11y linting tools might be a helpful entry into react specific accessibility later in the flow.

@adam-golab I think that what @Esyechka posted works perfectly for general React considerations.
