What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the critical need to make data visualizations created with Chart.js accessible to all users, including those with disabilities, by adhering to WCAG guidelines.

Core Features & Use Cases

• WCAG Compliance: Ensures charts meet accessibility standards for color contrast, keyboard navigation, and screen reader compatibility.
• Colorblind-Safe Palettes: Provides and demonstrates the use of color palettes that are distinguishable by users with various forms of color vision deficiency.
• Keyboard Navigation: Implements focus management and keyboard controls for interactive chart elements.
• Reduced Motion: Respects user preferences for reduced motion to prevent discomfort.
• Data Table Alternatives: Offers methods to present chart data in an accessible tabular format.
