fix(a11y): add accessible names to icon-only buttons#79
Merged
Conversation
Lighthouse flagged five buttons with no accessible name in the home page featured threads section. Screen readers were announcing them as just "button". - Carousel prev/next buttons: add aria-label via i18n (featuredThreadsPrevious / featuredThreadsNext) since the buttons are real controls that scroll the embla carousel. - CardActions: convert from <button> to <span aria-hidden="true">. The element has no onClick and is rendered inside a <Link>, so it was a purely decorative arrow indicator. Treating it as a button also created an invalid nested-interactive (button inside link), an extra focus stop, and the missing accessible name. Making it a non-interactive, aria-hidden span fixes all three. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
