Known Accessibility Issues
Areas we're actively working to improve
We are transparent about areas where we don't yet fully meet accessibility standards:
Third-Party Integrations
Some embedded content from third-party services (like GitHub widgets) may not fully meet our accessibility standards. We're working with providers to improve these experiences.
Complex Interactive Elements
Some advanced interactive features are still being enhanced for full screen reader compatibility. We provide alternative access methods where possible.
We're actively working to address these issues and expect to have improvements in upcoming releases. Check our roadmap for specific timelines.
