1 reviewThis is not a good tool in its current state. Because OpenAI has scraped the web indiscriminately, its output includes many of the errors and bad advice that are so common across the web and make accessibility so difficult for developers to master. A better tool would have been trained on vetted resources; instead, this one just regurgitates bad information. For example, a button used to toggle visibility should be marked up using the button tag instead of a link, but many front end frameworks incorrectly use links for this purpose, and this tool recommends that you do, too. (Google "Button Cheat Sheet" for a pithy explanation of why this is a problem.) This is just one example; the tool also adds incorrect ARIA in ways that will actually prevent users of assistive technologies from operating interactive controls.
Bad accessibility advice makes the web even less accessible than it already is.
