jztan··on Show HN: Digital Accessibility Workflow Platform
Thanks for the feedback! We may change the home page a bit, but actually our platform is self-service to a high degree. The majority of our functionality is not paywalled so I apologize if it came across that way immediately.

Curious if anyone strongly prefers "keyboard" or "pyautogui"?
jztan··on Ask HN: What is the real value of UI testing?
I once worked at a company with 1000 UI tests. Every PR tests would fail because certain backend failures would cause flaky behavior. Then, we started mocking response, and of course they no longer failed. They also no longer caught real bugs anymore. Does that give you some nuance?
jztan··on Maestro – Next generation mobile UI automation
First of all, I didn't make this, let me be clear, and I don't work for the company Mobile.dev.

I've been looking for a replacement for Appium because the documentation for that site is absolutely garbage. Maestro boils everything down to YAML and runs its own test server so that you don't have to worry about connecting to the device drivers. It's missing an API but who needs an API when the CLI is so beautiful.

Does anyone know of anything on par with this that I should try? So far this has knocked my socks off.

jztan··on Show HN: I made Grammarly for accessibility code violations
Great suggestion! We will include ML-based corrections for individual developer mode very soon. For others, even a sign post is helpful. The translation point is a great one that we are also excited to work on.
jztan··on Show HN: I made Grammarly for accessibility code violations
We will have AI-suggested corrections in the near future! There are a lot of applications for AI here around structure and understandability of an app for the accessible user. We also plan to increase rule coverage to as many WCAG rules (78 total) as possible, starting with the most common offenders.
jztan··on Show HN: I made Grammarly for accessibility code violations
Hi! Sharing a product after many iterations on its UX (with more rule coverage coming soon).

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:
