European Accessibility Act – Simple CLI Checker

be-a11y is a Node.js-based CLI tool designed to scan and report common accessibility issues in HTML - be-lenka/be-a11y

European Accessibility Act – Simple CLI Checker launched on May 28, 2025 with 6 votes and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

What it does

be-a11y is a Node.js accessibility (a11y) auditor for HTML-based projects. It scans a local directory of templates, a single file, or a remote URL, runs 29 rules covering WCAG 2.1 / EAA-relevant issues, and prints a grouped, color-coded report — or writes a structured JSON document for CI and tooling, or a self-contained HTML report page. It exits non-zero when issues are found, so it can gate a pipeline. It ships three ways: a CLI , a Node API ( require() -able), and a GitHub Actionfrom github.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

    We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
