Hey folks, reporting in for our March Accessibility Community Check-In ✅
❓What is the Accessibility Category All About?
The Accessibility category is a place for our community to discuss and provide feedback on the digital accessibility of GitHub products. Digital accessibility means that GitHub tools 🔧 and technologies, are designed and developed so that people with disabilities can use them.
This is in line with GitHub’s mission to accelerate human progress through developer collaboration and the belief that people with disabilities should benefit from and be able to contribute to the creation of that progress.
The contribution graph now supports keyboard interaction and compatibility with assistive technologies. Users can navigate the graph and filter contributions using the keyboard. While navigating the graph, a summary of each day is displayed visually in a tooltip and announced by screen readers.
