Accessibility fix hit list #516
Description
This is a tracking issue for accessibility issues with open-source, self-custodial bitcoin wallets that we identified and want to help fix. We unearthed lots of issues in the research for the accessibility page in the guide, and we're organizing an event for the Global Accessibility Awareness Day. Let's use this issue to keep track of practical improvements we're making (or facilitating).
Issues below are by no means complete. This is just what we found in spot testing mid 2022. Feel free to test more and share what you find. Any help with all of this is highly appreciated.

Closing this issue since it's been inactive for 3+ years. I went through the individual issues listed above and also left comments or closed ones that were stale. Pretty sure that we can consider things abandoned after multiple years of inactivity. Especially if the fixes are trivial to implement, as most accessibility things are. With linters and AI, it should be pretty straightforward to create accessible interfaces.
