Tracking: Web interface isn't accessibility friendly

[lornajane]

I'm looking at ReDoc v2 (nice job by the way) but I'm running into problems where the interface isn't very accessible. Looking at the "Accessibility" tab in Firefox, it's mostly div and span tags with onClick events attached that are tripping me up. In order to be useful to more people (and for us to potentially adopt this at work), it would be great to review these and see if some of them could be implemented with some alternative markup or made focusable with tabindex.

Hey @lornajane! Thanks for the issue!

We are all in to make Redoc v2 more accessible!

Would it help to have separate issues for the different occurrences? I don't want to spam the issue queue if that's not appropriate!

Open different issues! Just make sure to group similar issues into one 😄

[RomanHotsiy]

Let's use this issue as umbrella for all the further issues. Just edit your initial comment.

[adamaltman]

Is this done @RomanHotsiy?

[RomanHotsiy]

@adamaltman, note this is a tracking issue. We will add more items here when discovered.

But all the current ones are fixed already on version 2.0.0-rc.35.

@lornajane would be great to get your feedback!

[lornajane]

Oh this is making such a big difference already! Thanks, people! There are definitely more things that I can see but not click on, I'll add to the list

[RomanHotsiy]

Hey @lornajane, we've fixed all the newly reported issues. Could you check this out again and provide any extra feedback?

Thanks!

Sure, what's the best way to use a local branch with a custom spec? I had a look a few weeks ago but I'm not a frontender and it wasn't clear to me how to build a bleeding-edge or other-branch version of the thing I include in my html page to render specs (or is the CLI ready enough for an unskilled person to use at this point? That's how I used v1)

... let me know if we should track this in a separate issue or other location for discussion not about accessibility?

[RomanHotsiy]

You can use our demo page https://redocly.github.io/redoc/ or use TL;DR section from the README and replace spec-url with your definition URL: https://github.com/Redocly/redoc#tldr. Use 2.0.0-rc.36.

Also, the latest redoc-cli should be good too. Make sure to use [email protected]

[lornajane]

I can use the most recent releases but I would like to know how to use my local clone with a local spec as well if possible - then I'd be able to test a branch

[lornajane]

Everything marked as complete is working perfectly now! I am definitely adopting redoc as my everyday local tool :) I did find and capture a couple of other things while I was testing a different spec today.

Hi, are there any updates on this?
