- legostormtroopr 9y agoI built a tool that does just this. Its a CLI tool that inspects HTML pages and determines if it meets a limited number of WCAG checks. https://github.com/data61/wcag-zoo https://github.com/data61/wcag-zoo Here is an ASCIInema that shows how it works (which I should embed in the readme) https://asciinema.org/a/104903 https://asciinema.org/a/104903 It was mostly build so I could add it to my CI builds to check WCAG compliance and stop deploys that didn't meet it.
