Have five minutes? Give me some feedback on my idea

Hi 👋,

My name is Mads, I recently introduced myself in this month’s “introduction” thread. I introduced myself as a long-time lurker and first-time poster. So, for a second (actually fifth) post I was hoping to get some early feedback on the side project I am hacking on 🤓

I care a great deal about web accessibility and allowing everyone, regardless of disabilities to use the internet the same way that “other” people do. In my day job, I am a frontend developer, and I see the same mistakes happen every day. Lazy developers that doesn’t do their job “right”, forgets to make the stuff they code accessible, content editors that forgets to add titles and descriptions to links and images. The list goes on, and while I could talk about this all day, I won’t for now, and instead try to explain how I can help with this.

Enter WebAid.🤙

WebAid is a monitoring service that regularly craws your site and pinpoints exact actionable things you should improve in order to improve the accessibility of your site. You’ll be able to define how “strict” WebAid should be according to industry standards such as Section 508, WCAG AA and WCAG AAA, filter on the severity of the issue and a few other things.

If you want to keep an eye on WebAid, you can sign up to my mailing list on https://webaid.io/ and I’ll reach out whenever there’s news on the development site.

I would appreciate all the feedback I could get. So please shoot at me 🙏
