July 18, 2026

A setup guide on the Overview that completes itself from observed state only; it never marks done what the app has not seen.
Three operational emails: first results, a detected regression, and a check we could not complete. Never marketing, one-click unsubscribe.
The scanner now observes whether the focus-styles embed is live on your storefront, instead of guessing.
Plan page redesigned as side-by-side cards; statement page gained a rendered preview.

July 15, 2026

Colour-contrast findings now include the measured ratio and a passing shade of your own brand colour, computed, not guessed.
Error monitoring with one funnel; deletion-on-uninstall verified against the real database.

July 14, 2026

Accessibility statement generator that refuses to describe a store it has not fully tested.
An append-only archive: each statement is kept exactly as written, dated, citing the scan it came from.
Weekly scheduled re-scans with regression alerts, computed only on pages covered by both scans.
Four plans on Shopify Managed Pricing. Pricing scales with labour, never with how many problems we report.
Theme extension live: focus styles on by default, skip link off unless your theme needs one.

July 13, 2026

The dashboard counts distinct failing rules, not failing elements: one wrong colour token rendered 160 times is one decision, not 160 alarms.
A gate that blocks personal data from ever being published out of a product image.
Merchant dashboard and the one-at-a-time alt text review queue.

July 12, 2026

Storefront scanning with axe-core in a real browser, one representative page per template.
The crawler refuses to report on a store it cannot actually see; a password gate produces no findings rather than false ones.
Catalog alt-text audit: finding what DOM scanning structurally cannot.
