    description
    Pocket A11y is a lightweight accessibility auditor that runs directly in your browser. Click the icon on any page to scan for WCAG violations using the axe-core engine — the same engine trusted by accessibility professionals worldwide.
    
    WHAT IT DOES
    • Scans the current page and reports violations by severity: critical, serious, moderate, minor
    • Highlights affected elements directly on the page so you can see exactly what needs fixing
    • Shows the failing HTML, CSS selector, and a plain-language explanation with a link to learn more
    • Exports results as CSV or JSON for documentation, tickets, or sharing with your team
    
    FLEXIBLE TESTING
    • Choose from WCAG 2.0, 2.1, or 2.2 at A, AA, or AAA conformance levels
    • Optionally include best practice checks beyond the WCAG spec
    • Resizable popup so you can size it to your workflow
    Pocket A11y is a lightweight accessibility scanner that lives in your browser toolbar. Click the icon on any page to audit for WCAG violations and get actionable results in seconds.
    
    🔍 SCAN YOUR WAY, EVERY TIME
    Run Deque axe-core, IBM Equal Access, or both at the same time. When you use both, overlapping findings are automatically merged so you get broader coverage without duplicate noise.
    
    📋 CLEAR, ACTIONABLE RESULTS
    Every issue shows its severity, the failing HTML, a plain-language explanation, and a direct link to the relevant WCAG success criterion. Navigate between affected elements with the built-in carousel.
    
    🎯 HIGHLIGHT ON THE PAGE
    Tap any issue to see the affected element highlighted with a labeled overlay right where it lives. No switching tabs, no inspecting source.
    
    📤 EXPORT AND SHARE
    Download results as CSV or JSON for documentation, bug tickets, or team handoffs.
    
    ⚙️ FLEXIBLE TESTING
    Choose from WCAG 2.0, 2.1, or 2.2 at A, AA, or AAA conformance levels. Optionally include best practice checks and manual review items. Resizable popup that remembers your preferred size.
    
    🔒 PRIVATE BY DESIGN
    No data leaves your browser. No analytics, no tracking, no network requests. All scanning happens locally.
    
    🆕 WHAT'S NEW IN v1.2.0
    • Dual-engine scanning: run IBM Equal Access alongside axe-core for broader coverage
    • Intelligent deduplication when both engines are active
    • Visual highlight overlays with rule labels on affected elements
    • Node carousel to step through multiple affected elements per issue
    • Best Practices and Manual Checks tabs
    • Inline settings panel for engine and standard selection
    • WCAG success criterion links on every issue
    • Scan result caching and session-persisted state
    • Resizable popup with size memory
