This page collect some random notes and observations while working and implementing the plugin.

Decorative Animations (Aria Hidden)

Context: The plugin works by adding animations to image blocks. The image blocks serve as fallback for when the animation doesn't load, when the animation is overlaid on top of te image, or when the hide reduced motion fallback option is picked.

If the image has no alternative text (alt text), it is considered to have no meaning and to be a decorative image. This results in the animation canvas element having aria-hidden=true applied so that the screen-reader will pass it by. This is by design.
