Description

Is there an existing issue for this?
  • I have searched the existing issues
Current behavior

I had a quick look around the Plane interface and while a lot o things work, marginally, well, there's also a lot of things that could do with some serious accessibility improvements.
Many form fields lack an accessible name/label, heading structure is all over the place, several buttons are unlabeled for assistive tech etc.
Is there a plan to tackle the accessibility of the interface so people don't get fired when a company decides to adopt this tool only to find out that some of their employees can now no longer keep track of the projects they're working on?

Steps to reproduce

Test using the interface with only the keyboard , while a screen reader like NVDA.
