Stark Accessibility Checker

I just entered here for the first time. when I work with Stark a little, I will write a review. However, Stark onboarding process seems complex. Maybe you can help make it easier and faster.

Stark says on their website that their "Starter" (free) version includes "WCAG Scans in browser", which is technically true I guess, it does let me scan the page... However, it won't show me the actual result unless I upgrade to a premium subscription, so that is pretty useless. Manual tools work fine though, I'm just annoyed with the false advertising.

On their website it says landmarks is free, but it was actually a paid feature after installing the extension.

Hey! Thanks so much for taking the time to voice your thoughts on what we’re doing here at Stark. We heard you loud and clear. In pursuit of our mission of making the world’s software accessible for everyone, we recognize it’s paramount that the ability to design and build accessible products is available to all. Starting today all our manual tools are free. If you update/open up Stark in browsers, Sketch, Figma, etc. you have access to Contrast, Typography, Alt-Text, Touch Targets, Focus Order, Landmarks, Vision Simulator, Headings, and ARIA Notes—including our smart suggestions. Thanks again, we appreciate you immensely. And as usual, keep the feedback coming!

Love having this integrated as part of my browser as it gives me the flexibility to check accessibility in the likes of Canva all the way through to tools like PowerBI

This extension is very promising and I have worked with pleasure with the contrast function. 3 starred, because first feature "contrast" (and now newer features) are behind a login wall. There are other products (also extensions) out there that do some of these basic checks for "free", and have been doing this way longer than Stark is. Will re-use when at least contrast feature is provided without login. Thank you for your contribution to an Accessible web anyway!

Stark is my go to contrast checker and simulator. Whether it's in Chrome or your favorite design software this is a must have. Download it as fast as you can, and you'll soon wonder how you ever worked without it.

The eye dropper is not selecting colors correctly. Otherwise everything is great!

Stark is absolutely fantastic and it's integrated so well into Chrome! It's quickly become a must have design tool and there's no excuse not to have it now that it's right in Chrome. Can't recommend it enough! 🙌

Love everything Stark does; so excited about this new extension! Can't wait to use it all the time.
