Roadmap

The core scanning engine. Everything needed to audit a site from the command line.

• Sitemap fetching with SSRF protection and retry logic
• URL filtering: prefix, glob (picomatch), exclude, depth, limit
• Bare URL mode with auto-sitemap discovery
• Playwright scanner with AxeBuilder API, concurrency (p-limit)
• Browser crash recovery with automatic relaunch
• Pattern analysis: violations grouped by rule + normalized CSS selector
• Root cause hints (Vuetify, Nuxt, WordPress, Material UI, etc.)
• CSV, JSON, HTML, and Markdown reporters with pattern grouping
• LLM-ready JSON with htmlSnippet, failureSummary, rawSelector
• Per-site timestamped report folders (preserved for diffing)
• SIGINT handling with partial report writing
• CI/CD mode with machine-readable JSON output
• a11y.config.ts single source of truth
• 114 unit tests across CLI and web

Additional output formats and reporting enhancements.

• Markdown reporter for GitHub issues and PRs ✓
• Report diffing: compare two scans to show new/resolved patterns
• Trend tracking across multiple scan runs
• Summary email digest for scheduled server scans

Guided mode for users who don't want to memorize CLI flags.

• Interactive wizard via readline (no external dependencies) ✓
• Report auto-pruning with --keep flag ✓
• Prune subcommand for manual report management ✓
• Saved scan profiles (re-run common scans with one command)
• Profile management: create, list, edit, delete
• a11yscan --profile production shorthand

Alternative browser engine for environments where Playwright is unavailable.

• Puppeteer scanner as drop-in alternative
• --engine puppeteer flag
• Shared ScannerManager interface between engines

Public-facing site at a11yscan.dev for documentation and demos.

• Nuxt 4 + Nuxt UI 4.5.1 static site ✓
• Deployed to Netlify via pnpm generate ✓
• WCAG 2.1 AA compliant ✓
• Interactive demo and pattern gallery
• SEO and OpenGraph metadata
