Flutter has accessibility FYI. It creates a parallel accessibility tree in the DOM that screen readers can read.

hah. I remember having to build HTML-only fallback versions of fancy Flash UI sites back in... 2002 to around 2008. We marketed this as an add-on for improved SEO. Allegedly Google used to manually check if the content matched what was in the Flash version and knock you down if it wasn't. That was probably just a rumor.
