This week on Accessibility Craft, we're taking a behind-the-scenes look at the design and development of the new Issues Explorer in Accessibility Checker Pro. We discuss what it takes to build an accessible single page application (SPA), how React changes the accessibility testing process, and why focus management, live announcements, and state changes are critical to creating a great experience for keyboard and screen reader users.

We also share what we learned while updating Accessibility Checker's Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR), how AI fit into the design and development process without replacing human expertise, and why accessibility remains a release blocker for our team.
