How Open Source Projects Handle Accessibility at the Code Level

Lucas and Luna explore how open source projects like the GNOME desktop environment and the React ecosystem approach accessibility at the code level. They look at the specific practices that make software usable for people with disabilities, including screen reader support, keyboard navigation, and color contrast checks. Lucas explains the role of tools like Axe and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), while Luna highlights how community-driven projects can embed these standards early. The episode also covers the unique challenges open source maintainers face in prioritizing accessibility when resources are tight.
