Curator’s notes


Scout is a VS Code extension built to help developers catch and fix accessibility issues right inside their code editor. Powered by Mistral AI, it scans your HTML files, flags common problems, and suggests one-click fixes—so you can make the web more inclusive, without leaving your workflow. I built it with a focus on user experience and practical features, like keyboard shortcuts and familiar VS Code quick fixes, to make accessibility easy and intuitive for everyone.
