On: Flipboard releases React Canvas

I don't know the specifics of how canvas accessibility does or doesn't work, but React definitely supports adding ARIA attributes to any tags it renders.

That's one of the problems with rendering UIs on canvas: it doesn't work with a11y. And since it's not rendering tags, there's nowhere to hang the ARIA attributes.

I wonder if an invisbile SVG layer would work for that purpose, or translate positioned invisible DOM as a fallback.
