Accessible Shiny

The accessibleshiny package is in development. If you would like to get involved, let me know.

What's going on here?

The accessibleshiny package is a collection of UI components, tools, and methods for improving the accessibility of shiny applications. The components in this package are built with the following concepts in mind.

1. Web Accessibility: It is important that Shiny applications can be accessed and used by individuals that use assistive web technologies, such as screen readers, digital braille displays, or other devices/browser extensions. This does not only include input elements and images, but also application UI layouts and data visualizations.
2. Responsive Design: In addition to creating components that are accessible, creating responsive content can help improve the accessibility app Shiny apps. The components in this package are optimized for different screen sizes.
3. Customizable: Lastly, these components can be customized through CSS to fit the design of your application (e.g., organizational branding, prebuilt themes, etc.).

What components will be included in this package?

Here are some of the components that I have planned.

• Responsive tables
• Progress Bars (for items complete; TBD)
• Accordions
• Radio Input Buttons
• Checkbox Buttons
• Creating internal links (to other tabs)
• and more!
