This has got to be satire right? HTML is accessible by default, it's your horrible JS SPA frameworks that break thid. See [0]

- PaulHoule 4y agoFor my day job I put a lot of effort into making an SPA accessible but it is absolutely important to the business because our customers demand it. I haven't perceived maintaining accessibility to be a big burden in the long term. Interestingly the accessibility project forced me to raise my game on CSS/HTML, graphic design, etc. and probably had a bigger impact on my side projects than it did on my work.
- nightski 4y agoI put in this work as well. It's not about "burden" but cost. Clearly there is a cost here (your time). I don't mind spending the time, but that doesn't mean it costs nothing. Now multiply this times every web app in existence and the cost is quite large. A lot of this could be avoided with a better platform.
