Suggestion: A modern, maintained alternative for Validity users (Validify) #87
Description
Hi @renyard and the community,
First off, thank you for all the work put into Validity over the years. It has been a staple tool for many developers.
With the current extension showing its age and this repository seemingly unmaintained, I wanted to share a modern alternative I built, heavily inspired by the workflow Validity established.
It is called Validify.
Why switch?
I built Validify to keep the core utility of checking HTML quickly but updated it with a modern tech stack and user interface.
| Feature | Validity (Original) | Validify (New) |
|---|---|---|
| HTML Validation | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes (W3C Nu HTML Checker) |
| In-browser validation | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
| UI/UX | Legacy Interface | Modern, clean Material design |
| Maintenance | Deprecated | Actively Maintained |
| Speed | Standard | Optimized for modern browsers |
Extras in Validify
Beyond the standard validation, Validify also includes a dedicated "Validity W3C Validation" panel with suggestions on how to fix the errors.

I hope this helps anyone landing here looking for a working validator!
