The interests input on the new announcement page uses Selectize.js, and it is not friendly to screen readers for several reasons:

  • The input does not have a label
  • The placeholder is uninformative
  • Selectize.js is not very accessible:
    • When values are selected, the input reads as empty
    • Options are very difficult to navigate with a screen reader
