knaaaaaack@SteveFaulkner right?! I keep telling people about this one. Also has a cli and can be integrated into test/build processes.
MelHamnavoe@SteveFaulkner thanks, was unaware of this, will check it out. (Maybe throw a Figma sites example at it 🤣)
Jak2k 🏳️🌈@SteveFaulkner @neil Thank you! I ran it on my website and fixed one violation by adding an `aria-labelled-by`.
Saint@SteveFaulkner Thanks for sharing! It's giving me alerts for things that WAVE and axe DevTools weren't picking up before.
@sainthood Is that good or bad? FYI i don''t tend to make use of alerts/recommendations from automated tools, I focus on the errors, stuff that can be practically pass/failed by auto tools
@SteveFaulkner It's good! By alerts, I meant it alerting me of errors. I probably wouldn't have ever known these things were broken or how to fix them if I hadn't seen your post!
@sainthood I found a few links i added to my own site that were failing colour contrast, so fixed em
Lyons@SteveFaulkner wow! Thank you for sharing this!
