I CANNOT believe this. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I tried making one of these last week and it's practically impossible

thanks for your response. please give it a try and let me know how it works out for you

The accessibility of this leaves a lot to be desired:

- There are no landmarks.

- The keyboard navigation works poorly.

- There are no live regions to show changing content.

- The markup is a sea of divs and spans, so there is no structure to the content.

- There is no visible focus indicator.

Some of the advanced layouts do not work at all in Safari, accessible or otherwise.

I just don't understand why every JavaScript project uses emojis so much

It helps format the text if your writing a long piece of manual for example.

Sure you can break it up with capital letters, bold but it gets boring and dull. Adding emoji's adds a bit of toybox excitement.

If they are used correctly, it can make a document more appealing. When not then it makes the page look ghastly.

The project is still actively under development and accessiblity is something not yet fully implemented but the goal is to get there eventually very quickly. I have not advertised as fully accessible.

Can you clarify a bit more on the keyboard navigation working poorly. may be logging a issue on the repo would help me to solve it quickly.

as for problems in safari, i use a windows laptop and i haven't got the opportunity to test on safari thoroughly. But this will be looked into on high priority.

Why so negative?
