This is an accessibility-remediated fork of Open WebUI, based on upstream v0.9.6.
It was created for use in educational settings where digital accessibility is required. The frontend has been remediated to conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA — verified through keyboard-only navigation, screen-reader testing, browser zoom/reflow, and color-contrast checks.
Under the U.S. Department of Justice's final rule for Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) — published April 24, 2024 — state and local government entities, including public universities, must ensure their web content and mobile apps conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Related U.S. Department of Education guidance reinforces these obligations for digital learning tools. Because the upstream Open WebUI project did not fully meet these standards, this fork applies the fixes needed to use the tool in courses and other public, student-facing contexts.
Accessibility changes are maintained on the a11y/systemic-fixes branch and include: a global keyboard focus indicator, skip-link and landmark navigation, accessible names for icon-only controls, keyboard-operable menus and dialogs, and corrected color contrast.
