Hey HN! I built this because the EU Accessibility Act (EAA) takes effect June 28, 2025 - requiring all e-commerce sites serving EU customers to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards.

The tool uses axe-core (Deque's open source engine) via Puppeteer to scan any website and generate a detailed report with: - Overall accessibility score - Critical/serious/moderate issues breakdown - Specific WCAG criteria violations - Actionable fix recommendations

It's free for single scans. Would love feedback from the HN community on the UX and what additional features would be useful.

Tech stack: Next.js 14, Vercel, Browserless (headless Chrome), axe-core
