<p>Lumen ARIA Blocks helps you publish interactive content that stays usable for keyboard and assistive technology users, while remaining practical for editorial teams in Gutenberg.</p>
<p>Why teams use Lumen ARIA Blocks:</p>
<ul>
<li>Better accessibility defaults out of the box (roles, states, keyboard behavior, focus handling).</li>
<li>SSR-first output for robust rendering and content continuity.</li>
<li>Theme-agnostic integration (works with any WordPress theme).</li>
<li>Privacy-friendly runtime (no telemetry, no tracking scripts).</li>
</ul>
<p>How it works:</p>
<ul>
<li>SSR-first dynamic blocks (content remains server-rendered).</li>
<li>Progressive enhancement with block-specific frontend scripts, enqueued only when the related block is rendered.</li>
<li>Runtime assets are served from your own WordPress site.</li>
<li>No third-party runtime libraries are bundled in this release.</li>
</ul>
<p>Available blocks in this release:</p>
<ul>
<li>Accordion</li>
<li>Button (action/link/toggle)</li>
<li>Carousel</li>
<li>Dialog</li>
<li>Popup</li>
<li>Tabs</li>
<li>Tooltip</li>
</ul>
<p>This plugin is designed to work across themes and does not require coupling to a specific theme implementation.</p>
