What this changes

The Web Accessibility section (compatibility/web-accessibility.md) only had 2 entries. This PR organizes and expands it into three sub-sections:

Guidelines & Standards

  • WCAG 2.2 Quick Reference (W3C) — Official filterable guide
  • WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices (W3C) — Design patterns for accessible widgets

Community & Learning

  • WebAIM — Leading web accessibility resource
  • Deque University — Accessibility training courses

Testing Tools

  • axe-core — Open-source engine (30K+ GitHub stars, used by Microsoft, Google)
  • WAVE — Free evaluation tool by WebAIM
  • Pa11y — Open-source CLI for automated testing
  • RatedWithAI — AI-powered WCAG 2.2/ADA scanner
  • Lighthouse Accessibility Audit — Chrome's built-in auditing

All resources are free or have free tiers. With ADA Title II enforcement expanding and the European Accessibility Act taking effect, accessibility tools are essential for frontend developers.

Hi! Just checking in on this PR. Happy to make any changes if needed — the tool fits naturally in the performance monitoring section. Let me know if there's anything I can adjust. Thanks!

Hi! Circling back on this one as well. This PR expands the Web Accessibility section with practical tools, guidelines, and learning resources. It's been a few weeks — let me know if there's anything I can clarify or adjust. Appreciate your time!
