Body

I recently saw a post on LinkedIn about the new, more accessible github.com (the marketing site) experience.

It's clear that sincere effort is being made here, but there are still opportunities for improvement, particularly for screen reader users. I've started to document these. See attachment for part 1.

Includes opportunities within:

• announcement content
• global/footer navigation
• tab implementation

Note: It looks like React Native is being used, which in my view is a little trickier than React web to coax into delivering more accessible web experience. I don't think anything I've surfaced so far is unachievable, though.

Hi there @realitydust 👋🏼 ,

Thank you for submitting this (especially after posting in several places 😃 ). I appreciate all the context and detail! We will report these issues internally to the correct team and follow-up here with questions and progress updates if and when we have them. In the future so we can more effectively triage and respond to you we recommend creating a discussion post for each separate piece of feedback and avoiding the use of file uploads as other members and our team may be hesitant to download a file from the internet.

Looking forward to more of your thoughts ❤️
