Summary

Creating accessible web applications is difficult. It gets even harder if you don't understand how people with disabilities use computers.

With ARIA DevTools you see your website the way screen readers present it to the blind users. All page elements are presented according to their explicit or implied ARIA roles. This includes headings, images, tables and form items beyond others.

It's now easy to spot missing ARIA labels, misused ARIA roles, and incomplete keyboard support. This makes testing and development of accessible websites easier.

This is an Open Source project that can be found on Github: https://github.com/ziolko/aria-devtools

cool, also you can see the accessibility tree from the inspecting tool, Elements > "styles row" > accessibility

Works pretty well, unless you're using Shadow DOM. I'm building my app in Lit-Element, which uses open Shadow DOMs for every component, and the extension is just not reading any of it and giving me a blank page.
