Show HN: I made Grammarly for accessibility code violations

I stumbled upon this problem when the company I was at faced an accessibility lawsuit and needed engineers to fix them. Though there were accessibility champions, I fell into the category of average engineer who had very little experience with correcting/testing these tickets.
With jargony documentation of accessibility guidelines and bad descriptions from audit, it was very frustrating to work with. I could not easily fix them without seeking help.
My friend Michael and I started working on this problem and are excited to launch:
TestParty’s first product is a VSCode extension called Pregame. It scans your code inside the IDE and provides code suggestions for accessibility violations. In your side bar, you will see why it fails/passes guidelines and gives you some accessibility training in-context. The link below is the direct link to the VSCode Extension:

Would love for you to try it out and provide feedback. If you would like to chat, my email is jasonzhetan116@gmail.com
In your example of an image not having an alt text, instead of blocking me from shipping, I'd prefer it if used an ML auto-captioning tool to suggest a caption (and even offer translations) so I can move on with my commit.
Seems like there are 3 rules you guys are checking for right now. What's next? Also would be cool to see something like AI generated img alt text for user-uploaded images.
