Description

Quote:

Since it isn’t mentioned on the page, I’ll mention that accessibility is a really important thing to design in when creating data visualizations.
This podcast (I only have a spotify link) has a really good short interview on this:

https://open.spotify.com/episode/18dHTAxCCeIaLOTch6tRld

The interview is with Frank Elavsky who seems to be a rock star in the field (and no, I don’t know him and am not him) and made a project called Chartability relating to this which has heuristics, principles, and guidelines for a11y audits:

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by reviewing the linked Chartability heuristics, principles, and guidelines, then inspect Flint's visualization features to determine the accessibility scope. The issue does not define specific changes or a completion criterion, so those would need to be established before implementation.
