Accessibility in Front-end

One of the skills that people are not interested in, and I personally did not give it the utmost importance.

I was talking to one of my colleagues at the office and I asked him from his point of view, what are the skills that distinguish one person from the other?

In the midst of a lot of talks, he said the Accessibility, at the time, frankly, I was not interested in it

Let me explain, the Accessibility in Front-end is how I can control the components through any external device, such as the mouse, the keyboard, or maybe a tablet pin or headphones.

and guess what maybe from voice recognition

Ask yourself how to make the components easily accessible for any user, from any device the user can use, and how to make it easier for him to use it.

For example, if he eats and wants to move through the keyboard, how to understand which part he wants to go to it first?

How do I make this part accessible through the keyboard; because there are tags, the attribute tabindex must be entered, also sometimes it is necessary to put a keypress event for example.

Suppose he is blind!! Shouldn't we make him able to use the site?

maybe we can add voice recognition to grasp what he wants.

there are a lot of examples but I'll leave it to your imagination ;)

these details distinguish one developer from another, however, it adds fun to the work.

Have a productive day ❤️
