The Fuji CSS Validator release
Seasonal gift: a new version of the CSS validator just in time for the 10 years anniversary of CSS.
Playing with the new Validator API
A new release of the W3C Markup Validator is usually a good news for Web Designers: it means bug fixes, better documentation, more document types supported, and little usability improvements to make life of HTML coders easier. The latest version of the validator, released this week, is also good news for developers, giving us a new toy to play with, and build upon: a public API.
Unicorn Sighting (public preview)
A clear, simple, concise and complete assessment of the quality of a web page. Being able to get results of validation of HTML, checking of the style sheets, finding broken links, and more, much more, without having to visit ten different pages and services. That would be a rare sight, but it's not a fantasy. We give you: The unicorn (public preview)
Meet the Unicorn
Why should we have to use ten different tools to check the quality of a single web page? We think there should be a tool to gather observations made on a single document by various validators and quality checkers, and summarize all of that neatly for the user. Do you think we are dreaming? Meet our unicorn.
