Solution retrospective

I hid the chat app and its focusable elements from screen readers with aria-hidden="true" and tabindex="-1". Should I have made it accessible?

P.S.: I hope the animations aren't annoying.

    Another brilliant solution, Ksenia! 💯 You're right to hide the focusable elements from screen readers for the illustration. A lot of people would actually create the whole illustration using div elements anyway.

    Based on your solutions, you're 100% ready to start applying for jobs! If you're not already, I'd recommend following Randall Kanna on Twitter. She puts out some great content with advice for applying for jobs.

    If you ever have any questions, please feel free to message me as well. Always happy to help however I can!

    Ksenia, I must confess I'm a huge fan of your projects, your attention to details and hidden surprises like making the text input working. Are you already working in IT? :)
