ARIA support for Λrrow #145

Closed nomisRev closed 1 year ago

nomisRev commented 1 year ago

Got feedback on Mastodon that Λrrow is not user friendly in for screen readers, and should be wrapped in ARIA spans.

You're using lamda in the name "Λrrow" to make it look cool, and I agree it looks cool, but a screen reader like VoiceOver will pronounce this as just "row". This could be fixed with at least, though I'm no ARIA expert.

I tried to do a quick sweep on the website, but was unsure how to deal with it in cases like yaml.

Maybe this could be something we can change across the board and use A. The Λ can still be used in images or media when not presented in textual format.

I'll have a look on the places where the content is being read from .yml files, I think it could a quick and very beneficial fix.

Following on Raul, I have opened a PR in https://github.com/arrow-kt/arrow-website/pull/146 explaining what it could probably the best route to go.
