<p>I'm building a website integrity and security monitor. The backend is written in Java/PostgreSQL. The front end is written in JS/React. It will allow for interactive use via front end or be API driven.<p>I initially was using SSE to push events down to the front end during long scans but decided to switch over to plain old HTTP polling for better reliability across different browsers (and versions of different browsers).<p>Here are the areas of analysis:<p><pre><code>    - accessibility
      -- check for images with missing alt text
      -- check for various form controls missing labels
      -- headings not following (h1->h2->h3...)
      -- missing lang attribute on <html>
    - content
      -- check for forbidden words and phrases
      -- check for required words and phrases
    - performance
      -- evaluate time to load page
      -- check for excessive inline JS
      -- check for inline styles
    - security
      -- check for SSL certificate expiring soon
      -- check for security HTTP headers
      -- check whether Server HTTP header is too revealing
    - seo
      -- check for missing title in head section
      -- check for missing meta description
      -- check for multiple H1 headings
    - site integrity
      -- check for broken links
      -- check for use of deprecated tags
      -- check for insecure http link
    - spell check
      -- check for possibly misspelled words
</code></pre>
Having a lot of fun building it!<p>Going for a 100% self-service model. No corporate sales cycles, no slide decks, no meetings.<p>Targeting a June launch.</p>

<p>It seems that peak native Windows dev tools were Delphi 7 and VB6. It's a tragedy that something at least as good as VB6 is not still developed and supported by Microsoft.</p>

<p>I had a very similar path starting with dBASE III Plus.<p>As you say the productivity it (xBASE/FoxPro/Clipper) offered was remarkable. One of the tools that I really wish I had was a FoxPro/Clipper compiler that took a subset of the language (general purpose stuff and screen functionality) and compiled it to either C or Go with ncurses. Who knows, I might have AI help me build one.</p>

<p>Kudos to you! Looks very nice and well thought out. I was working on a native Windows tool for data exploration of SQLite but I shelved it.<p>If you don't mind my asking -- what language and toolkit do you use?<p>I can certainly see a lot of benefits from a team oriented web-based dashboard.</p>

<p>I'm building a site auditing tool with a pluggable metrics pipeline. It's implemented in Java using Javalin for API, OkHttp for fetching, and jsoup for parsing. I'm experimenting with an event sink model for metrics aggregation.<p>Still early, but it's definitely fun and interesting.</p>

<p>Very cool! What compilers and interpreters are available? I know that rexx wasn't available at the time that the open source vm/370 was released. Has the community found a way to add rexx?</p>

<p>I made the clarification because the comment I replied to mentioned Android, iOS, and macOS. There are many who used Delphi before FMX appeared and I thought it would be helpful to point out that VCL only makes Windows executables.</p>

<p>Yes, you can build cross-platform GUI apps with Delphi. However, that requires using Firemonkey (FMX). If you build a GUI app using VCL on Delphi, it's limited to Windows. If you build an app with Lazarus and LCL, you CAN have it work cross-platform.</p>
