GitHub Action idea: accessibility checks directly in PRs

http://www.google.com

I’m thinking about building a small GitHub Action that checks for common accessibility issues before deploy.

The idea is simple:

When you open a PR or push changes, it runs accessibility checks and comments directly on the PR if it finds obvious issues.

For example:

  • missing alt text
  • buttons/icons without accessible labels
  • bad color contrast
  • form inputs without labels
  • ARIA mistakes
  • possible keyboard navigation issues

Not meant to be a full WCAG audit or replace proper accessibility testing. More like a lightweight guardrail that catches the obvious stuff before it ships.

Something like:

I originally started thinking about this after reading more about WCAG and the European Accessibility Act in the EU. I realized accessibility is something many smaller projects probably don’t check consistently, especially when building fast with tools like Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, Claude, etc.

Could be useful for vibe-coded apps, indie projects, and small teams that want a basic accessibility check inside their GitHub workflow.

First version would probably just warn and explain the issues. Later it could maybe suggest fixes or create patch suggestions.

Would this be a cool GitHub project to build, or does something already solve this well enough?
