Building Accessible Web Apps in React | Shruti Kapoor | React Day by Frontend Nation 2025

Accessibility isn’t just a “nice to have”. It’s a MUST. But all too often, it’s slapped on at the end of a project like duct tape. 🤯 In this talk by Shruti Kapoor from React Day 2025, she challenges the idea that accessibility is a chore. Instead, she shows how it can be a natural, effortless part of building with React, right from the first line of code. From everyday components to complex interactions, she’ll walk you through how to make your interfaces work for everyone, without sacrificing speed or creativity.
