Hello everybody

I'm very new to this list. Thanks for managing it. I'm an accessibility expert and frontend web developer.

For a client, I'm looking for a truly accessible combobox with the following requirements:

- single select
- multi select (aka. pills or tags)
- filterable
- asynchronous data loading (AJAX)
- vanilla JS (no jQuery etc.)

I've looked through dozens of existing libraries, but I can't seem to find one which is truly accessible (I'm testing with NVDA).

Any hints? Thank you.
