DjangoCon Europe 2021 sprints – Accessibility review of Django Postgres Metrics
Channel: Thibaud Colas
Date: 05/06/2021

This is an accessibility review of the Django Postgres Metrics package I did as part of DjangoCon Europe’s sprints. Thank you to Markus Holtermann for offering his project for review!

Project: https://github.com/django-postgres-metrics/django-postgres-metrics

Audit details / transcript: https://github.com/django-postgres-metrics/django-postgres-metrics/issues/57

I audited the demo site that comes with the project, and the online documentation at https://django-postgres-metrics.readthedocs.io/.

Note I made a mistake while auditing right-to-left (RTL) support, and forgot to change the Django configuration as needed for this. As such, none of my test results are relevant for this section.
