React - by the people, for the people !

Elevator Pitch

Web accessibility (also referred to as a11y) is the design and creation of websites that can be used by everyone. But what’s the use of the app which is not approachable to your users. Wanna make your app more reachable? Let’s take this approach to a whole new way!

Description

Building accessible apps means helping as many people as possible interact with your app’s interface. This includes individuals with auditory, cognitive, neurological, physical, speech, and visual impairments. It can also include temporary conditions, like a broken wrist, that may prevent someone from interacting with an app how they usually would. In this talk I would discuss the following topics in detail :-

  1. The mystery of WAI-ARIA
  2. How the use of semantic HTML throttles UX
  3. Keyboard focus and focus outline and Mechanisms to skip to desired content
