Well, I for one am interested in this. I perform accessibility audits a few times a year on a contract basis, and I'm always looking for ways to help my clients do some of the testing themselves. But the problem I run into is that many of the testing software I see out there looks at the code, but often times the code can be fine but the screen reader or other factors interprets things in a goofy way. So a fair amount of my auditing involves testing with real devices.

I like that this makes it easy to nail the low-hanging fruit, like making sure your forms have submit buttons (looking at you, Github) or that you put a language attribute in your HTML tags. Something that nags developers to do the basic things is ok in my book.
