Motivation

Recently in Uni I had a course about Accessibility in the web where we had the opportunity to speak with blind people. We found out that many sites in the web suffer from inaccessible content, where fundamental components are mostly the root cause for this. For critical Services like Health-Ensurances or Online Shops, inaccessible sites could mean a loss of customers.

For this reason I wanted to learn more about the UI patterns by WAI-ARIA and integrate it into my personal projects, so I created this library in hope some might find this useful

Some API and Design decisions are inspired by Radix UI, Tailwind CSS and Vaadin. Big shoutout to these awesome projects!
