Hey Hacker News community! I'm thrilled to introduce Excessibility, a library that I've developed to address a crucial aspect of web development - accessibility testing. With Excessibility, you can effortlessly test your Elixir/Phoenix applications for a11y issues and ensure compliance with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey Hacker News community! I'm thrilled to introduce Excessibility, a library that I've developed to address a crucial aspect of web development - accessibility testing. With Excessibility, you can effortlessly test your Elixir/Phoenix applications for a11y issues and ensure compliance with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). Accessibility is a fundamental principle that should be at the core of every web application. It ensures that people with disabilities can access and use your website or application without any barriers. However, testing for accessibility issues can be a daunting task, often requiring manual effort and extensive knowledge of accessibility guidelines. This is where Excessibility comes in. It simplifies the process of accessibility testing your Elixir/Phoenix applications and can be used with ExUnit, Wallaby, and LiveView tests. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting out, Excessibility empowers you to identify and fix accessibility issues easily. I believe that Excessibility can significantly contribute to the accessibility of Elixir/Phoenix applications and promote inclusive web development practices. By incorporating accessibility testing into your development process, you can ensure that your applications are accessible to all users, regardless of their abilities. I invite you to check out Excessibility and give it a try. Your feedback, contributions, and suggestions are highly appreciated as we strive to make web accessibility a priority in the development community. (P.S. I am currently looking for a new position. I have extensive experience in Elixir/OTP, JavaScript/TypeScript, and a11y. My e-mail is in my bio.)
