Introduction

This tool attempts to present webpages as linear documents, with additional information provided on the status bar. It is designed as a CLI application, and is designed to be as minimal as possible.

Support for Firefox will be added first, with plans to add Chrome in the future.

A11Y is an abbreviation for accessibility.

Users of A11y Technology experience the following:

  • complexity in browsing commonly used websites
  • many instances of ARIA bugs
  • problems with interfaces between screen readers, keyboards, and those using assistive technology

Those users need a way to:

  • access the web as frictionlessly as their sighted companions
  • view webpages consistently across platforms
  • enable and disable A11Y controls and interactions on the fly
