Accessible components

The value of component libraries that have accessibility ‘built in’ is both immense and often overstated. Two sides of the same coin: yes they're good, but yes it's also risky to say they are some sort of one size fits all solution. They're a blessing and a curse.

Michael Matthews at A11y Quest explains:

merely using an accessible library or framework doesn’t mean your team has somehow outsourced all its accessibility responsibilities

(From: The Myth of 'Accessible Components and Done' | A11y Quest)

He goes on to say in addition to maybe benefitting from an accessible component library, you need to make informed decisions, test with users and ensure expertise within your team. Amen to that!
