a11y improvements #94

Open bearded-avenger opened 9 years ago

bearded-avenger commented 9 years ago

Time to start thinking about making Lasso accessible to everyone. How extensive should it get? Is a11y even a thing in a front-end editor? I have a fairly good idea on the needed markup, just not sure how extensive it should get. Do we throw aria-expanded true and false across every modal that's shown and hidden? What are the best tools to test with?

Are we going to bring in Gary Jones, Joe Dolson, David Kennedy, or Rian Rietveld?

bearded-avenger commented 9 years ago

Not a bad idea! I was just going to go through and add aria attributes and roles where needed. It could get pretty extensive as we'll need aria-expanded true and false (toggled with js) across all items that are shown with controls.

I have a fairly decent idea what needs to be added, but I also don't want to overkill it, so feedback from a11y experts is definitely welcome.

How do you want to go about receiving feedback? Should we just ping them here?

bearded-avenger commented 9 years ago

I don't want to reach out unless you personally know them (I just don't want to be a bother), but yeah feedback here is fine for whomever wants to leave it. May just tweet this out.

Those are a couple of questions I'd love input on.
