Let's create a guide that helps new contributors test their accessible code using readily available tools.

I learned about the extension WAVE at Denver Startup Week. They have both a web tool to assess most of the WCAG issues, as well as browser extensions. It pretty clearly shows you what needs help when you use it. wave.webaim.org

Great resources!

Adding in a chrome screen reader tool which is only mildly scuffed (no disable button).

An intro lesson from Turing discusses the basics of accessibility and how to use the VoiceOver screen reader which is a bit more accurate an experience over the chrome alternative, though a bit harder to work as a first-timer.

I've got a few resources on the readme that discuss the intro to accessibility also but going to aim to write up a little guide over the next few days.
