Reveal 43

This release of Reveal features Insights, a brand new workspace. It runs a powerful, accessibility-focused audit of your app — instantly.

Insights will save you time and help you build better apps — for everyone.

We have spent more than a year building the new Insights workspace, working with industry experts and organisations to encode their expertise into more than 130 rules.

These rules are based on a combination of industry and platform-specific guidelines, best practices and over a decade of our own experience developing apps.

Each rule will provide you with information about what the issue is, how to address it, and references for further reading.

This release marks a change in the philosophy of Reveal. For the last ten years, we’ve shown you as much data as we can about your app — to inform your own judgement. With Insights, Reveal will also provide guidance.
