I have implemented several micro-UX and accessibility improvements to make the application more tactile and inclusive:

🎨 What's New?

  • Haptic Feedback: Flight cards now provide satisfying tactile feedback when swiping to pin (selection tick) and when the action completes (success notification).
  • Screen Reader Support:
    • Flight cards now support custom accessibility actions, allowing users who rely on TalkBack or VoiceOver to pin and unpin flights directly from the actions menu.
    • Added descriptive accessibility labels to flight cards that summarize key information (Airline, Number, Direction, Time, Status).
    • Localized labels for icon-only buttons (Clear/Save in Notepad, Notifications in Flights) to ensure they are properly announced.
  • Visual Polish: Improved button consistency and ensured localized strings are used for all accessible elements.

♿ Accessibility

  • Implemented accessibilityActions for SwipeableFlightCard.
  • Standardized accessibilityLabel across interactive components.
  • Ensured all new strings are localized in both Italian and English.

🛠️ Technical Changes

  • Added expo-haptics dependency.
  • Updated src/i18n/translations.ts with accessibility-focused keys.
  • Optimized PanResponder haptic triggers to prevent excessive vibration.

👋 Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request.

When you start a review, I'll add a 👀 emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down.

I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job!

For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with @jules. You can find this option in the Pull Request section of your global Jules UI settings. You can always switch back!
