Description
Currently there are icons for the status of a feature on a client detail page
- ✅ if supported
- ❌ if unsupported
- ❔ if unknown
- 🧪 if experimental
There are some issues with that:
- For persons that use assistive technologies (such as screen readers) there are no accessible texts for the items
- For other persons it may be unclear what the icons mean
Suggestions:
- Add a legend below the feature list that explains the icons
- Add `aria-label` to the items (ensure that child elements are aria hidden then)
