building the theme has been a delicate balance of trying to manage merchant expectations with creating an accessible user experience.

Our marquee component has a pause button, respects the user preference for reduced motion, only enables focus for the first unique instance of a link, and only announces the first instance of the text. While there are certainly things that I think can be improved, a huge amount of effort was put in to make sure that disabled users would not be blocked by it. Marquees are not great for accessibility, but one that has considered accessibility is certainly better than one without.
