Accessibility notes

  • The month, week and day are grids named by their title. Days head the columns and times the rows, so each cell reads with its day and time.
  • Every event is a button named by its title, day and time, such as “Standup, Friday, September 25, 9:00 – 9:30 AM”. A move or resize announces the new time.
  • Every drag has a keyboard equivalent, so no one needs a pointer.
  • The views are toggle buttons in a group, and moving to another week or month announces its title.
