Comment
These features aim to improve the accessibility, customization, and onboarding processes for GlassyUI users and contributors, fostering a more inclusive and adaptable component library.

Description

Accessibility Checker:
This feature ensures that all components in GlassyUI meet accessibility standards. It scans for common accessibility issues like color contrast, keyboard navigation, ARIA roles, and screen reader compatibility, flagging issues and offering improvement suggestions. This helps developers create components that are usable by everyone, including people with disabilities, promoting inclusivity across devices and user needs.

Beginner Guide:
The Beginner Guide simplifies onboarding for new contributors by providing a step-by-step introduction to GlassyUI-Components. It covers everything from development environment setup to making a first pull request, including Git basics, coding standards, and troubleshooting tips. This feature reduces entry barriers, making it easier for new developers to participate.

Theme Designer:
This tool allows users to customize component appearances in real-time. It lets users modify color, opacity, blur, and shadow to create unique glassmorphism effects, with a live preview showing how changes impact each component. This feature enables flexibility in design, allowing for both brand alignment and aesthetic cohesion.

Proposed Solution

Accessibility Checker Solution:

Implement an automatic scan for accessibility standards whenever components are built or updated.
Flag issues and provide actionable recommendations, such as suggesting higher contrast colors or adding ARIA roles.
User Stories:
As a developer, I want to know if my component is accessible so I can make necessary adjustments.
As a user with disabilities, I want to interact with components that are usable with assistive technologies.
Beginner Guide Solution:

Create a dedicated section in the documentation for beginner-friendly tutorials, starting with environment setup and moving through Git and project structure basics.
User Stories:
As a new contributor, I want an easy-to-follow guide so I can quickly get started contributing to the project.
Theme Designer Solution:

Develop a customizable interface for modifying component styles, with features like a color picker, opacity slider, and blur control.
Include a “downloadable CSS” feature for easy theme integration.
User Stories:
As a designer, I want to customize components to match my brand.
As a developer, I want a quick way to preview theme adjustments and download the CSS.

Alternatives Considered

For the Accessibility Checker, alternatives like using external accessibility plugins were considered but may lack integration with GlassyUI’s specific components, which limits customization.
For the Beginner Guide, standardizing documentation without a dedicated guide was an option, but it might overwhelm beginners.
For the Theme Designer, alternative methods include providing multiple predefined themes without a live customization tool, which limits user control over aesthetics.

Screenshots/Logs

Not applicable at this stage, but wireframes or interface examples can be added once the feature designs are underway.
