Svelte has been described as an “accessibility-first-framework”, yet its compiler warnings cover only a fragment of the issues at hand. In this talk, I’d like to explore how accessible Svelte really is and more importantly, have a look at what you can do to bridge the gap. Ideas include checking both automatically and manually for issues the compiler might overlook, like color contrast, keyboard accessibility and semantics.

Things we did that svelte users are annoyed about

Svelte includes built-in animations that makes it easy to slide, scale, and fly elements in and out of the DOM. However, you need to be careful to not trigger motion sickness in your users.
