Description

In the latest beta documentation for React, there are some accessibility issues which are persisting.

Some of them are (from lighthouse report):

  • Missing aria-labels in view elements
  • Links do not have descriptive text

I am willing to work and contribute to this and will try to improve upon these areas to the best so that the React Documentation site is fully accessible to everyone on the internet.

P.S. I am a first-time-contributor to React and very excited to make this contribution. Thank you.
