Known Limitations
While Aula strives for full compliance, we recognize certain limitations, including:
- Form Labels: Some forms do not have fully descriptive labels, which may affect usability for screen reader users.
- Contrast Ratios: A few graphical elements may not meet the minimum contrast ratio required for visibility, which could affect users with visual impairments.
- Status Messages: Some status messages are not fully compliant with accessibility standards for automatic announcement by assistive technologies.
We are working to address these issues in future updates and welcome feedback to guide our ongoing efforts.
