Issues with projects

Hello, hope you’re doing well. I have recently started using Github projects and have noticed numerous accessibility issues. The actual project view is not very screen reader friendly. However, this could be easily addressed in the following ways:

1. Make each section title (e.g. done) a heading or at least add the role for a heading to them. This means that screen reader users could quickly navigate between each section in their projects, where as currently it can be a nightmare to navigate.
2. Each issue should either be one large clickable element using the button role or each issue title should be a heading one level lower than the section heading to allow screen reader users to better make use of each issue.
   There also issues with the modals that appear after you select an issue and when you change a value on the issue. It will often move the users focus away from the modal and back to the main body of the page. It is possible to get back to the modal, but this is not ideal. There is also an issue with inputs that appear as popups over the modal, where after selecting a value you cannot leave the popup and you can not manually scroll through the list of options. Also, when searching, sometimes you cannot select the suggestions presented to you.
   For reference these issues were found using Firefox and NVDA both on their latest versions, but I suspect that neither of these tools are the reason these issues are occurring.
   Obviously, there are other possible solutions to these problems. The ones above are just examples that work for me.

These insights are incredibly useful for web developers and product managers at GitHub. For actionable steps, you might consider:

Reporting the Issues:

• If you haven't already, report these issues directly to GitHub. They have a platform for reporting bugs and a forum for suggesting features.

Community Engagement:

• Sharing your findings with the community (e.g., on forums, in GitHub discussions) can also be helpful. It raises awareness and might prompt quicker action from the developers.

Hi @paulGeoghegan,

Thanks so much for reaching out in the Accessibility community. I see that you originally shared this feedback back in September. By any chance, has anything changed about the observations that you've shared here since then?

No it hasn't

Gotcha, I'll submit your feedback to the Accessibility team so that it's on their radar. Thanks so much for contributing to our community!
