🧭 New Adventure Idea: The Accessibility Nightmare

Hi ! 👋

Responding to the open call for new challenge ideas, I'd like to propose "The Accessibility Nightmare".

This adventure tackles a highly relevant, real-world problem: navigating modern web accessibility compliance (WCAG 2.2 and the newly enforced European Accessibility Act). It takes learners from basic auditing all the way to enterprise-grade CI/CD automation and production monitoring.

📖 The Concept

ShopSmart's e-commerce expansion is blocked by ADA lawsuits and strict EAA fines. As the lead frontend engineer, the learner must audit the broken site, build an accessible component library, and automate compliance to save the EU launch.

✨ Key Features

• 3 Progressive Levels:
  • 🟢 Beginner (The Initial Audit): Fix critical WCAG 2.2 violations and pass the initial legal check.
  • 🟡 Intermediate (The Component Forge): Build and document an accessible component library with proper focus management.
  • 🔴 Expert (The Compliance Engine): Integrate automated accessibility gates into CI/CD and build a production RUM dashboard to catch dynamic regressions.
• Modern Tech Stack: axe-core, Playwright, Storybook, GitHub Actions, OpenTelemetry, and Jaeger.
• Cohesive Narrative: Follows the structured format (Overview, Story, Problem, Objective, What You'll Learn) for a consistent learner experience.
• Real-World Impact: Teaches skills that are in massive demand due to the 2025/2026 EAA enforcement.

📂 Files Added

• ideas/adventure-accessibility-nightmare.md - The full adventure proposal.

✅ Checklist

• Idea follows the standard adventure structure (Overview, Levels, Story, Problem, Objective, etc.)
• File is placed in the ideas/ directory
• Clear prerequisites and learning outcomes defined for each level
• Tools and infrastructure specified for each level

Closes #26

Thanks a lot for submitting this adventure. I love the idea and how everything builds up to a pretty exciting system in expert! 😊

I left two questions in the review. I don't have much experience in accessiblity (unfortuantely) so they're really curious questions to understand the adventure better.

Would you be up for also implementing the adventure once the idea has been merged?

Oh and please sign your commits for the DCO check to become green.

fyi: I'll be on vacation the rest of the week but I'll make sure to get back to this idea first thing on Monday morning

Thanks @KatharinaSick ! I've sign my commits for the DCO.

Regarding implementing the adventure: I'm a bit tied up at the moment and might not have the bandwidth to work on the implementation myself right now. However, it would be great to merge this idea first and create a separate tracking issue for the implementation. That way, someone else can pick it up, or I can contribute to it later when my schedule clears up!

Also, thanks for the heads-up about your schedule. Enjoy your vacation, and we can pick this up next week!

Thanks for letting me know and for contributing an idea even though you're quite busy right now :)

I'll merge the idea PR now and create an issue to implement it. Unfortunately, I won't be able to pick it up myself because I lack too much knowledge in this field but I'm really looking forward for this adventure to come to live in the future.
