Accessbility analysis

[rugk]

One may have a deep look on whether stuff for accessibility can be improved. Considering that we use Photon colors and other standard stuff, which has been tested for accessibility already, I hope it should be quite okay.

To do so, you may have a look at the accessibility inspector of Firefox 61 or add-ons such as axe devtools.

I had a quick look at the settings and they seem to be okay:

But because of (WebExtension) limitations in my Firefox 61 instance I could not get it to actually get it to analyze the popup though. And even the options page needs a check with axe e.g.

Also generally it may be better to run the tool outside of the browser: https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core https://www.axe-core.org/

Hey! I am interested in doing this ticket!

[rugk]

Okay so, great. 😃 Please notice this is mostly a ticket for investigation, with work mostly in docs etc., and does not have to result in a PR.

As such, please (also) explain what you tested and how. And what you noticed, of course.

In the end, you may also have a look on how to fix potentially discovered issues. This could then be a PR. 😃

Also good to read/have a look is https://a11yfirst.netlify.com/…

@renatavmaraj Are you still interested in it? If not, that's no problem, just add a notice, so I know what the current status of this issue is.

Can I work on this? I will need a few days to go over this and come up with something solid... that sound good?

[rugk]

@Rish-P Sure and thanks a lot!
