Ledger aggregates bank accounts and turns transactions into a budget people actually keep. The brief: WCAG AA everywhere, including the charts.
Accessibility work
- Every chart ships a data table twin; screen readers get the table, sighted users the chart.
- Full keyboard model for categorizing transactions — power users never touch the mouse.
- Motion-reduced variants for all transitions.
Outcome
The app passed an external accessibility audit with zero blocking issues, a first for the company, and support tickets about "can't find where to click" dropped measurably.
