Ask HN: Why does HN have no ARIA labels nor titles?

[deepstream]

These things are quite useful for accessibility, which the HNers talk about a lot as important. Wondering why their favorite news forum doesn't have any?

I once lived next door to a gardener / landscape architect who had an awfully messy garden. He said that's the way it always is.

HN follows the "First Rule of ARIA Use"[1] making ARIA attributes unnecessary.
