Really good break down of what accessibility is all about 👍.

I find myself clicking on the tab key too these days to see how everything on a site plays out.

I'd say I'm still learning to implement accessibility features especially with `aria-` attribute so sure, I'd love to join you on your journey with accessibility 😏.
