Hey everyone, Soufiane here from Checksum Works. I'm incredibly excited (and a bit nervous!) to launch ControlPlane UI Kit. As a developer primarily focused on building SaaS applications, I found myself constantly rebuilding the same core dashboard components: user authentication layouts, settings pages, user menus, and especially complex components like a Command Palette. I built ControlPlane UI Kit to be the "Zero Infrastructure" solution I always wanted. **What does "Zero Infrastructure" mean?** It means you get a folder of beautifully designed, premium React components (`.jsx` files) and a single `tailwind.config.js` file to drop into your project. No complex dependencies. No servers to manage. Just copy, paste, and start building your application. The components are built with accessibility in mind (using Headless UI where it makes sense) and are designed to be clean, composable, and easy to customize. To see every component in action, I've put up a comprehensive documentation site, which also serves as the live demo: ➡️ **Live Demo & Docs:** https://controlplane-ui-docs.ver... **The "Early Bird" Lifetime Deal** To celebrate the launch, I'm offering a one-time "Early Bird" deal. The final price will be $149+, but for this launch, you can get lifetime access for a single payment: * **Solo License (1 project): $49** * **Team License (Unlimited projects): $149** This gets you all current 18+ components and layouts, plus every future component and update, for life. My goal isn't just to sell a template; it's to run an honest business and build a product that genuinely saves other developers time. I'll be here all day to answer every single question. I'm looking forward to your feedback! Thanks for checking it out, Soufiane

Zero-infra UI kit sounds perfect for rapid SaaS development! Quick question: how much accessibility is baked into the components?

Things like keyboard navigation, focus management, ARIA labels; are these handled out-of-the-box or left to the developer?

Congrats!

Hi @halyticai  

Thanks a lot for the kind words and the excellent question! Accessibility (`a11y`) is absolutely critical, especially for a UI kit aiming to be production-ready for SaaS.

This isn't something left to chance or entirely to the developer. My approach leverages a combination of best practices:

1. Headless UI Integration: For complex interactive components like the `Command Menu`, `Dropdowns`, and `Modals`, I've built them on top of [Headless UI](https://headlessui.com/) primitives. This is a game-changer because Headless UI provides **out-of-the-box keyboard navigation, focus management, and ARIA attributes (roles, states, properties) according to WAI-ARIA best practices. This handles a significant portion of the `a11y` heavy lifting.

2. Semantic HTML: For simpler components (Buttons, Inputs, etc.), the underlying HTML is semantic by design, using appropriate tags (``, ``, ``, etc.) to ensure a good baseline for screen readers and assistive technologies.

3. Tailwind CSS for Visuals: Tailwind handles the styling, but it doesn't interfere with the underlying semantic structure or `a11y` attributes. This means you get full styling flexibility without compromising accessibility.

What's handled out-of-the-box:
-Keyboard Navigation: For interactive elements (tabs, menus, dialogs).
-Focus Management: Correct handling of focus within dialogs, menus, etc.
-ARIA Attributes: Automatically applied by Headless UI where appropriate.
-Basic Semantic Structure: For all components.

What's left to the developer (and why):
-Content-Specific ARIA Labels/Descriptions: While the components handle the structural ARIA, you'll still need to provide meaningful `aria-label` or `aria-describedby` for custom content or unique contexts (e.g., describing a specific input's purpose beyond its visible label, or providing alt text for images). This is inherently content-specific and always falls to the implementer.
-Color Contrast: While I've used common color palettes, ensuring your specific implementation meets WCAG contrast ratios across *all* custom text and background combinations is ultimately your responsibility.
-Overall Page Structure: The kit provides components, but ensuring the global page structure (e.g., correct heading hierarchy `h1, h2`, skip links) is up to the page builder.

So, in short, I've integrated robust `a11y` foundations through Headless UI and semantic HTML, handling many of the common pitfalls. You get a strong starting point, allowing you to focus on your unique content's accessibility needs.

Hope this clarifies things! Let me know if you have any other questions.
