Show HN: Accessibility Testing Tool for Developers (chrome.google.com)

I've created this Chrome extension over a year ago to improve my dev experience with web accessibility. As much as I like working on it I suck in marketing. This is unfortunate, because the tool is not as widely used as it could be (even though there is almost 1400 weekly active users and 16 5-star reviews in the web store).


This is cool. I will link to it from my A11y blog.


That's so kind of you. Thanks!


As much as I like to see new a11y tools, what features does your tool offer over popular alternatives (WAVE, axe)?


It's a different kind of tool. It doesn't run any automated audits. The idea is to present your website in a way blind users would "see" it so that it's easier to empathize with them.

This plugins renders accessibility tree for a website. E.g. instead of images you'd see their accessible name.


Great, thanks for the explanation!
