Modal Dialog Accessibility Issues - Focus Trap Not Working
Modal dialogs aren't accessible. Users can tab to elements behind the modal, keyboard focus isn't trapped, or screen readers don't announce the modal.
Accessibility testing tools flag issues with focus management and ARIA attributes.
Error Messages You Might See
Focus escapes modal to background
Screen reader doesn't announce modal
No way to close without mouse
Keyboard navigation broken in modal
Common Causes
- No focus trap - focus can escape to background content
- Missing dialog role or aria-modal attribute
- ESC key doesn't close modal
- No aria-labelledby or aria-describedby
- Background content not marked inert
How to Fix It
Use accessible modal library: react-modal, headless-ui, or radix-ui Dialog
Or implement: focus-trap package for managing focus
Add attributes: role='dialog' aria-modal='true' aria-labelledby='title'
Close on ESC: window.addEventListener('keydown', e => e.key === 'Escape' && closeModal())
Mark background inert:
{content}

Hi Im a full stack developer, a vibe coded MVP to Market ready product, I'm here to help
Simon A.
I'm a backend developer building APIs, emulators, and interactive game systems. Professionally, I've developed Java/Spring reporting solutions, managed relational and NoSQL databases, and implemented CI/CD workflows.

I’ve watched the tech landscape evolve over the last decade—from the structured days of Java Server Pages to the current "wild west" of Agentic-driven development. While AI can "vibe" a frontend into existence, I specialize in the architecture that keeps it from collapsing.
My expertise lies in the critical backend infrastructure: the parts that must be fast, secure, and scalable. I thrive on high-pressure environments, such as when I had only three weeks to architect and launch an Ethereum redemption system with minimal prior crypto knowledge, turning it into a major revenue stream.
What I bring to your project:
Forensic Debugging: I don't just "patch" bugs; I use tools like Datadog and Explain Analyzers to map out bottlenecks and resolve root causes—like significantly reducing memory usage by optimizing complex DB joins.
Full-Stack Context: Deep experience in Node.js and React, ensuring backends play perfectly with mobile and web teams.
Sanity in the Age of AI: I bridge the gap between "best practices" and modern speed, ensuring your project isn't just built fast, but built to last.

15+ years shipping production infrastructure for startups. Former CTO at qed.builders (acquired by The Sandbox).
Cursor ambassador and agentic tooling builder.
I've scaled systems, automated deployments, and built observability tools for AI coding workflows. I specialize in taking vibe-coded apps from broken prototype to production-ready: fixing Supabase auth/RLS, Stripe integrations, deployment pipelines, and cleaning up AI-generated spaghetti.
I build tools in this space (agentprobe, claudebin, micode) and understand both sides: how AI generates code and why it breaks.

Basel Issmail
’m a Senior Full-Stack Developer and Tech Lead with experience designing and building scalable web platforms. I work across the full development lifecycle, from translating business requirements into technical architecture to delivering reliable production systems.
My work focuses on modern web technologies, including TypeScript, Angular, Node.js, and cloud-based architectures. I enjoy solving complex technical problems and helping teams turn product ideas and prototypes into working platforms that can grow and scale.
In addition to development, I often collaborate closely with product managers, business analysts, designers, and QA teams to ensure that solutions align with both technical and business goals.
I enjoy working with startups and product teams where I can contribute both as a hands-on engineer and as a technical partner in designing and delivering impactful software.

I am a technologist and product builder dedicated to creating high-impact solutions at the intersection of AI and specialized markets. Currently, I am focused on PropScan (EstateGuard), an AI-driven SaaS platform tailored for the Japanese real estate industry, and exploring the potential of Archify.
As an INFJ-T, I approach development with a "systems-thinking" mindset—balancing technical precision with a deep understanding of user needs. I particularly enjoy the challenge of architecting Vertical AI SaaS and optimizing Small Language Models (SLMs) to solve specific, real-world business problems. Whether I'm in a CTO-level leadership role or hands-on with the code, I thrive on building tools that turn complex data into actionable value.

I got a lot of experience in building Long-horizon AI Agents in production, Backend apps that scale to millions of users and frontend knowledge as well.
You don't need to be technical. Just describe what's wrong and a verified developer will handle the rest.
Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
What should I use for modals?
Headless UI Dialog, Radix Dialog, or react-modal. These handle accessibility correctly
How do I trap focus in modal?
Use focus-trap library or: track focus, when focus reaches last element, move to first (and vice versa)
What ARIA attributes for modal?
role='dialog' aria-modal='true' aria-labelledby='title-id' aria-describedby='desc-id'
