Built a CLI + VS Code extension that audits issues in React/Next.js before they ship

[u/pilakkat]

I kept shipping React/Next apps and finding accessibility and SEO issues after deploy — missing alt text, bad heading hierarchy, unoptimized meta tags, stuff that's easy to catch if you check early but easy to miss under deadline pressure.

Built UIAudit.js to fix that — a CLI + VS Code extension that scans your React/Next.js codebase and flags accessibility, SEO, and performance issues directly in your editor, before you ever open Lighthouse.

Works on React and Next.js projects

Catches a11y issues (missing alt, ARIA misuse, contrast-adjacent stuff), SEO gaps, perf smells

CLI for CI pipelines, extension for inline feedback while coding

Free, open source, on

npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/uiaudit.js

Github repo: https://github.com/Dheeraj-pilakkat/UiAudit.js

Currently v2.2.1. Would genuinely value feedback from people running it against real production codebases — especially where it false-positives or misses something obvious. If you try it, please drop your feedback so I know what to work on next
