Danish K.'s profile on Product Hunt

About

UI/UX Designer based in Birmingham, UK. I build tools that make accessible design easier for everyone, not just compliance teams. My open source Smart Color Contrast Checker helps designers and developers meet WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 standards in real time, with AI-generated colour fixes that keep brand identity intact. Udemy instructor with 13,000+ students taught. Writer on HackerNoon covering accessibility and inclusive design. Open source contributor. Research on accessible colour systems accepted for IEEE-indexed publication at ICAIII 2026. I believe accessibility should be a built-in part of how digital products are made, not a late-stage audit.

Designers — would love your honest feedback on A11y before launch tomorrow

Tomorrow we go live on Product Hunt and before the noise kicks in, I wanted to reach out to designers directly.

A11y started as a personal tool. I kept hitting the same wall, contrast checkers that flag problems but offer zero help fixing them. So I built something that suggests accessible colour alternatives instead of just reporting failures. It works as a Figma plugin and a web app, and everything runs locally so nothing leaves your machine.

But I'd genuinely love to know from designers who deal with accessibility day to day:

Does the "suggest fixes not just failures" approach actually solve a real problem for you?
Is there a feature you wish every contrast tool had but none of them do?
Would you use this in your current workflow, and if not, what's missing?

What's the most frustrating part of checking contrast in your design workflow?

Most contrast tools just tell you "fail" and leave you to figure out the rest. You're left manually tweaking hex values, guessing which shade works, and checking again from scratch.

That was the exact frustration that led me to build A11y Smart Color Contrast Checker. Instead of just flagging failures, it suggests accessible alternatives that keep your brand colours intact. No guesswork, no leaving Figma.

But I'm curious about your experience. Where does contrast checking actually slow you down?
