"A Month of Accessible Elm"
summary
A month-long habit of writing UI tests targets screen-reader operability on the site’s interest-selection page: tests use elm-program-test (Aaron Vonder Haar’s approach) and assert real interactions instead of class-based clicks, while switching from elm-css hashed classes to semantic elements and accessible-html attributes; list items with onclick become real buttons, deselect controls gain hidden labels, and tests simulate flows like select Beyonce then Continue. Result: improved operability on a screen reader and maintainable, test-enforced accessibility.
