December 2024 — semrush/intergalactic delivered measurable business value through user-focused UX improvements and accessibility enhancements across components, charts, and website UI. Key features include Stories enhancements with an interaction play toggler and improved keyboard handling for nested dropdowns, and a new D3-chart stacked grouped bar visualization. Major bugs fixed span dropdown visibility toggling, input-number accessibility simplifications, focus restoration after inline edits, VPAT/ARIA compliance across the site, and keyboard navigation fixes in data-tables with virtual scrolling. In addition, we advanced accessibility with role=img on mini-charts, consolidated ARIA improvements, and UX polish such as hint/tooltip changes, notice close-by-ESC, and autofocus for notices. These changes reduce accessibility risk, improve keyboard and screen-reader usability, and provide a more consistent, performant UI across components.
