open source projects always struggle with accessibility, because they're often developer-led, small-scale/community efforts. It looks like the vscodium site has a lot of the common pitfalls.

  • The code snippets and block quotes do not conform to WCAG AA guidelines for contrast (related to #30)
  • images need alt attributes
  • focused links have the CSS style outline: 0. That breaks accessibility if you don't create some other visual identifier for the focused state of links. Links need a visible focus state
