Please continue working on this. After years of work and having a novel backend infrastructure figured out for something that may have a lot of value for people, I have simultaneously been completely unsatisfied with frontend options — and I’ve tried nearly all of them. Accessibility is a major issue in almost all I tried, and closed source, vendor-specific UI options are not acceptable.
The main one I’ve been very interested in these days is called Makepad. Also written in Rust, still early in dev, but they need a lot of help on the accessibility front and their codebase is trying to do everything else. But the techniques are what I have been looking for in a UI kit. Anyway, I imagine there are a lot of cases like theirs.
The main issue is most of us do not have these accessibility issues. That domain knowledge needs to be collected and distilled into a framework that is open & simply covers most cases by its inclusion. Many JS frameworks have a lot of care in this regard, but their performance and dep hell make me want to avoid them (however tempting their ease of use may be).
Long story shot: this is very much needed and when I have time I would be willing to contribute.
Rust derive macros would be very powerful with implementing accessibility features.
