spectervise is a chrome extension i made lel it is more or less for the css guys
if you just want to inspect a page fast and find weird hidden UI, u can js spot it easily with this
- press cmd/ctrl + shift + s
- applies this globally:
- '* {outline: 1px solid cyan !important;}'
- useful when spacing, overlap, and container boundaries are hard to see
- scans the dom for elements that look hidden but still occupy layout space.
flags style combos like: 'opacity: 0' 'visibility: hidden' 'display: none'(plus edge conditions from stable layout)
then it outline them in neon purple('#bc13fe') so you can spot ghost nodes instantly.
run wcag luminace/contrast math against text-ish elements.
if ratio '<4.5', nodes is treated as fail and get a red dashed marker.
show a quick counter panel with: run count ghost count contrast fail count total flagged last scan timing
