New Star Rating Control:

There's a new star rating control, designed for accessibility. We'd love to get your feedback on it on the intfiction.org forum.

The new star controls are designed to be bigger, easier to tap on on touchscreens.
They’re also designed to be keyboard accessible. You can use tab to focus on the star control, and then use arrow keys to select a rating. (When you do this, you have to tab over to the new “Submit Rating” button to submit your selection.)
Under the hood, they’re secretly radio buttons, so users of screen readers will interact with them like radio buttons.
We’ve replaced the little star icons with new SVG icons. I think they’re nicer to look at, especially on high-resolution screens (like phones).
