Make it easier to visualize what assistive tech sees by changing the visuals of a page according to aria information.

I can start looking into this but could you expand on what you're looking for? I'm not quite clear on it. Thanks!

My thinking was to have things like:

  • Hide all items marked aria-hidden
  • Replace items with their aria-label or aria-labelledby texts to see how that item would appear to an assistive tech
  • Perhaps overlay some sort of arrows linking aria-controlledby and aria-controls components

Things like that. I suspect that we might want to consider each of these as separate issues, but I raised the feature as a placeholder for the general concept.

Does that make more sense, @alexroseb?

I think the aria-hidden, aria-label, aria-labelledby, and aria-describedby should be pretty easy.

I'm not entirely sure about other aria-* attributes, but it shouldn't be too hard to get a few of these implemented.
