JSFoo: round the year submissions

This talk is for everyone, from beginners to experts in the field. In today’s world the words “diversity and inclusion” form a part and parcel of all of our conversations. Corporates use them in their policies, events highlight them, brands support them. When it comes to the tech space, we have all seen our shortcomings when a visually impaired person has to navigate our elaborate UIs and someone who’s only ever learnt sign language has to be a normal fully functional human being. This talk is about how automation solves these problems, and how with respect to UI, javascript can play an important role in the same.
