QE architect and senior SDET. I build test automation people trust, and lately, evaluation pipelines for systems that don't behave the same way twice.

Findings come back in plain English (what is wrong, who it affects, what to do), each keyed to its WCAG success criterion and, separately, to its Section 508 obligation, because 508 incorporates WCAG 2.0 and conflating the two is the most common error in this field. It also remediates Word, PDF, and HTML documents, repairing the structure it can derive and flagging what needs a person, and it never invents alt text. Two of its own tests run its scanner over its own output, which is how a false-positive keyboard-trap bug was caught. No account is needed to scan a page or fix a document; an account keeps reports for a year and can check an address every day.

Each feed gets its own sound, alerts keep firing with the tab closed, and any meeting can ring your phone an hour ahead even on silent. It publishes a booking link that offers only the times you are genuinely free across every feed, and a feed pointed at a web page is called out as exactly that instead of passing as a clean sync of nothing. There is a skip link, live regions so an alarm announces itself, and a keyboard path through the whole grid. A public demo, with sample calendars and real alarms, opens without an account.

Any list can be locked with real client-side encryption, so the server only ever holds ciphertext. Task chips choose their text color by measured contrast ratio rather than a brightness guess, after an accessibility pass found combinations sitting at 2.3:1 against a 4.5:1 floor; unit tests now hold every one at WCAG AA. A public demo, with sample data and a guided tour, opens without an account.

An optional model fallback for ambiguous merchants sits behind two gates and fails safe, so a guess never quietly becomes a number on a tax form. Money is integer cents end to end; every recategorization writes an audit row. Three screens once disagreed about net profit, and the fix was not to force one number: the books and the tax return answer different questions, so it shows the arithmetic between them. The spending chart is a labeled image with its figures repeated as a real table beside it.

Where other stopwatches quietly let two clocks bill the same hour, this one makes you say which you meant. Either the running timers divide the real hour between them, or each counts fully and the header admits the total has passed real time. It is local-first, so every tick is written to the browser before the network and the count survives going offline, a closed laptop, or a wiped session. It works on one device without an account, and signing in later carries that device's history to the others. Keyboard-first by design, with a skip link, one shortcut registry that both the help overlay and the command palette read from, and a test that refuses duplicate bindings.

Miss a day or a month and nothing wilts, which is deliberate: it is the rare habit app that never scolds you for stopping. The hardest accessibility problem here was the artwork itself. The plant is a single generated drawing, so the value that shapes it also writes the sentence a screen reader hears, which is what keeps the two from drifting apart, and every ornament in the glass is a real control with a target big enough to hit. Its own domain, its own world.

Most anxiety apps hand this group breathing exercises, which for fainters is the wrong intervention: fear of blood and needles drops blood pressure, and slow breathing drops it further. So it asks three questions about fainting before anything else, and one yes moves you to applied tension instead. That branch is enforced where the exercise is chosen rather than in the wording, so the code cannot offer a fainter a relaxation exercise. It is careful about what it is not: no diagnosis, nothing about sedation, and a visible route to a professional throughout. It never caps zoom either, which is the WCAG requirement most apps quietly break.

The database enforces that limit with a unique index rather than a hand-written check. Every change is stored as a list of before-and-after pairs, so undo simply applies the befores and cannot drift from what the change actually did. Dates are local calendar keys built without UTC, because slicing an ISO timestamp quietly moves the day for anyone west of Greenwich. It runs entirely in the browser, offline included, and works fully without an account; signing in is optional and adds a nightly backed-up copy on its server so the same grid reaches another device. The grid follows the ARIA grid pattern, every cell names its project, date and status, and no axe rule is disabled anywhere.
