  description

  Accesserty DevCheck is a lightweight accessibility assistant for developers and designers. It helps you simulate real user limitations and identify accessibility issues early in development or during audits — all without needing to be an expert in WCAG.
  
  DevCheck bridges the gap between abstract compliance and tangible user experience by showing you how people actually struggle to use your site.
  
  What problems does it solve?
  - Developers don’t know what accessibility really feels like.
  - Automated testing tools feel abstract, technical, and disconnected
  - Designers and PMs don’t know what to test — or when.
  - Websites often fail in real-world conditions.
  - Accessibility work is reactive, not proactive.
  
  Who is it for?
  - Designers who want to test ideas for inclusiveness early
  - Frontend developers who need to build accessibly without guesswork
  - QA testers validating UX against real-world limitations
  - Product owners seeking to understand user experience beyond compliance

  Accesserty DevCheck helps teams test web accessibility earlier, directly in the browser.
  
  It is built for frontend developers, designers, QA testers, and product teams who need to understand whether a page remains usable for people with different access needs.
  
  What you can do with DevCheck:
  
  - Simulate accessibility barriers such as color vision differences, low vision, text spacing issues, visual field loss, dyslexia-like reading friction, and touch target conflicts.
  - Run automated axe-core accessibility checks on the current webpage.
  - Review categorized WCAG-related findings directly on the page.
  - Check selected local PDF files for common accessibility signals, including document language, tags, outlines, links, images, and form fields.
  - Test public websites, internal environments, and localhost pages during development.
  
  DevCheck is not a replacement for manual accessibility review or assistive technology testing. It helps teams find common issues earlier, discuss accessibility with more concrete context, and improve before release.
  
  All checks run locally in the browser. Accesserty DevCheck does not send page content, browsing history, form input, PDF files, or scan results to external services.
