I completely agree with this. No one ever bothers to ask the question whether drag and drop is the best method of interaction for assistive tech users. @jscholes
@jscholes That's the main challenge for a project like React Aria: they can provide the primitives, but developers will still have to use them correctly. For example, it's also still very easy for developers not to provide enough contrast.
Thus, they can't do much more than explicitly call out that
> "alternative interactions may still be useful for discoverability"
but it's up to the developer to implement that.
@jscholes And of course, drag and drop isn't going away. So while education is definitely important too, I think the point of a project like React Aria is to make code that will get written anyway as accessible as possible.
