Thanks for the feedback! We may change the home page a bit, but actually our platform is self-service to a high degree. The majority of our functionality is not paywalled so I apologize if it came across that way immediately.
Show HN: Digital Accessibility Workflow Platform
Most accessibility testing tools only scratch the surface. They flag basic WCAG issues but miss the real-world challenges users face, especially around neurodiversity, keyboard navigation, and screen readers.TestParty.ai is a digital accessibility platform that uses AI to scan production, preview, and development environments. We support sitemap imports, user interaction steps, and end-to-end...

Curious if anyone strongly prefers "keyboard" or "pyautogui"?

Ask HN: Who are your favorite modern-day philosophers?
As a casual philosophy reader, I've always been fascinated by how humanities fields like art, literature, and philosophy eventually anoint a "great" for the generation. For philosophy, are there any good individuals you would recommend who are currently still productive in writing?

I once worked at a company with 1000 UI tests. Every PR tests would fail because certain backend failures would cause flaky behavior. Then, we started mocking response, and of course they no longer failed. They also no longer caught real bugs anymore. Does that give you some nuance?
Ask HN: What is the real value of UI testing?
Many developers here have probably dealt with flaky and unreliable UI testing. These tests are also very cumbersome to write and maintain because the frameworks are not great. Do people think that UI tests emerged simply for the sake of corporate interests? Do they actually provide regression stability? What would you improve about current UI testing frameworks if they had a magic wand?
Re:Maestro – Next Generation Mobile UI Automation

First of all, I didn't make this, let me be clear, and I don't work for the company Mobile.dev.
I've been looking for a replacement for Appium because the documentation for that site is absolutely garbage. Maestro boils everything down to YAML and runs its own test server so that you don't have to worry about connecting to the device drivers. It's missing an API but who needs an API when the CLI is so beautiful.
Does anyone know of anything on par with this that I should try? So far this has knocked my socks off.

Ask HN: How do you relate rendered HTML to the TypeScript file it came from?
Let's say we have a any web app (React, Next, whatevr framework. It has a App.tsx file and Button.tsx file. We start the local development server and use puppeteer to extract the content. You can use whatever frameworks, source maps, tools, etc. How would you take that string input and figure out the line number where the typescript actually occurred?
Re:Show HN: I made Grammarly for accessibility code violations

Great suggestion! We will include ML-based corrections for individual developer mode very soon. For others, even a sign post is helpful. The translation point is a great one that we are also excited to work on.

We will have AI-suggested corrections in the near future! There are a lot of applications for AI here around structure and understandability of an app for the accessible user. We also plan to increase rule coverage to as many WCAG rules (78 total) as possible, starting with the most common offenders.

Hi! Sharing a product after many iterations on its UX (with more rule coverage coming soon).
I stumbled upon this problem when the company I was at faced an accessibility lawsuit and needed engineers to fix them. Though there were accessibility champions, I fell into the category of average engineer who had very little experience with correcting/testing these tickets.
With jargony documentation of accessibility guidelines and bad descriptions from audit, it was very frustrating to work with. I could not easily fix them without seeking help.
My friend Michael and I started working on this problem and are excited to launch:
TestParty’s first product is a VSCode extension called Pregame. It scans your code inside the IDE and provides code suggestions for accessibility violations. In your side bar, you will see why it fails/passes guidelines and gives you some accessibility training in-context. The link below is the direct link to the VSCode Extension:

Would love for you to try it out and provide feedback. If you would like to chat, my email is [email protected]
