Letting this component become WCAG A11y compliant would be a huge improvement. Any work that contributes to that would be welcomed of course :) Feel free to submit a PR and I'll make sure to check it out and provide help getting it released.

Wonderful, thanks! We will get a PR set up ASAP. Are there any code standards or practices that we should be mindful of while making our enhancements?

[martijnrusschen]

There are a few linters (stuff like ESlint) but those are enforced via the CI, but with any modern editor, those should be picked up automatically. Nothing special at least

Sounds good, thanks!

Issue still exists - Not able to foucs all the dates when screen reader is open. Using the Up/down arrow key withthe screen reader (NVDA) enabled, focuses only few dates on the calendar.

Expected behavior:
Using Up/down arrow key while using the screen reader should focus all the dates.

Current Behavior

Only few dates are focused at random and the skipped dates are read by the screen reader all together with the focused date.
