9mtm/WCAG-Checker

WCAG-Checker is a low-traction repository (4 stars, 1 fork) that attempts to solve a problem already addressed by mature, industry-standard tools. The project has shown zero velocity over a nearly two-year period, indicating it is likely a personal project or a discontinued experiment. In the accessibility space, the project competes with powerhouse incumbents like Deque's axe-core, Google's Lighthouse, and WebAIM's WAVE, all of which offer significantly deeper integration (browser extensions, CI/CD runners, and enterprise support). The inclusion of PDF checking is a common requirement but is already handled by specialized tools like Adobe Acrobat's accessibility checker or various enterprise-grade PDF parsers. From a competitive standpoint, there is no moat; the logic for WCAG rule checking is standardized and widely available in open-source libraries. Furthermore, frontier labs and platform owners (Microsoft, Google) are increasingly integrating accessibility auditing directly into IDEs and browser engines, making standalone, low-velocity scripts like this one obsolete.
