Design and Usability Tips

Accessibility Considerations: Ensure that IconButtons are accessible by providing appropriate aria-labels for screen readers. Icons might convey meaning visually, but without proper labels, they can be meaningless or confusing to visually impaired users.
Spacing and Sizing for Touch: Consider the touch target size, especially for touch-screen device users. Ensure IconButtons are large enough to be easily tapped without accidentally activating neighboring elements. The recommended minimum touch target size is 48x48 pixels.
