What do you think of the Idea of building a standard library for accessibility patterns for the web?

@MoritzGlantz ah didn't see the article above. You mean more complex patterns.
@cvap and I also mentioned Kolibri😊
@MoritzGlantz Is that what you have in mind? https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/
(Haven't read your article yet)
@mandrasch Do you consider the APG an accessibility patterns library with best practices?
@MoritzGlantz Ah ok nevermind, had time to read your article. 👍
I myself was looking for robust pattern for accessible mega menus a while back (https://github.com/mandrasch/accessible-menu-bootstrap-examples) while working in a web agency, gave up.
Nowadays lot's of libs like Nuxt UI or shadcdn are based on https://www.radix-ui.com/ - I would assume they are the defacto standard currently 🤷♂️
And AI tools totally change the playing field currently, therefore I'm not sure if another pattern library would help (rather than contributing to radix & such) 🤷♂️
On the other hand you can do a lot more as one person or small team now with AI...
Much success with your initiative!
@mandrasch it is not meant as a pattern library to use directly in your web project. More as a list of accessible reference implementations for specific patterns. Like the apg but actual best practices and not just aria.
@MoritzGlantz eBay tried that and devs keep using it as an example for why they should adopt React instead
