As a user with any kind of disability, I want to ensure that the application is accessible, so that people with different abilities can use it without difficulty.

Description:

The accessibility of the application is paramount to ensure it can be effectively used by all users, including those with visual or motor impairments. This includes providing text alternatives for images, clear structuring of forms for screen readers, sufficient color contrasts for the visually impaired, and complete keyboard navigation for users with limited motor skills.

• [ ] Color contrasts adhere to accessibility guidelines to ensure readability for individuals with visual impairments.
• [ ] All controls can be operated using the keyboard or other input devices.
• [ ] The application is compatible with common screen readers such as VoiceOver or JAWS.
• [ ] Forms are logically structured and include descriptions for each form field.
• [ ] Error messages are presented clearly and comprehensibly, with alternative methods for review or correction of inputs.
• [ ] Images and multimedia content have alternative texts.
• [ ] The application responds to different screen sizes and supports responsive design principles.

Congratulations 💪. This is really a useful Userstory. Even if I think it is very complex and means a lot of work for the developer and also for testing it in Quality Assurance. Have fun with implementing it! 👍

Just one thing: Why do you write it as a developer story? It has a huge value for ALL users with any disability. So I would recommend to say: As a user with any kind of disability... or something like this. (Keep in mind: for any good userstory your customer is willing spend money. No so for a developerstory)

Thank you😅...Yes, i think it's a lot to do...would it be better to split it up in 2 or 3 US?🤔 Thx for your suggestion 😇 At first i was thinking about that the accessibility is my request. If i produce something, i like to have everybody get a benefit of it and automatically i reach more potential customers 🤑😆 But you're totally right, i'll keep that in mind 😇👍🏼
