    1. I know this is madness and that browser defaults like native <select>s are always the most accessible and therefore preferable options. But let’s just for a minute suppose it can be done. How would you approach making a UI filter component like this accessible? 🤔 #a11y

    Alt: A select with multiple selectable options that behaves like a fieldset with checkboxes including a search input above the checkboxes that narrows down the presented options, in this case cities. Once one or more checkboxes are ticked, you can reset it via a reset button.

      And again: I know that rebuilding this stuff is tedious and will very likely lead to many more problems. But I also think that we should not stop to think about how certain patterns that exist and solve real-world problems fairly well for some users could be built more inclusive.
