 * focuses:  ui => ui, accessibility


Comment:

 > and introduce a way to collapse folders

 Adding the accessibility focus because any UI component that is not
 "native" in HTML and that is implemented as a sort of "widget" with non-
 standard semantics and interaction needs some special accessibility
 treatment. Assistive technologies, and people using them, need to
 understand how a special "widget" works to be able to use it.

 Seems to me this should be implemented as an ARIA "Tree View". More
 details, expected keyboard interaction, and examples available on the ARIA
 Authoring Practices: https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/#TreeView

 Worth noting how keyboard interaction works just with the arrow keys (the
 whole tree view has just one Tab stop).

 From a visual perspective, I'd say the currently selected folder/file
 needs a way to indicate it's the current item that doesn't rely on color
 alone.
