TearOff's Target for Accessibility - WCAG 2.2 AAA
WCAG 2.2 AAA is the strictest level of accessibility and for many digital products is likely impossible to achieve. TearOff is a task management intended to serve people with cognitive differences so hitting the strictest level of accessibility is one of the development goals of the app. I don't think it will be either easy or convenient from a development perspective but I believe it is also worth the effort to try.
A lot of the hardest guidelines to meet like Guideline 1.2 - Time-based Media simply don't apply to the app. While the equally hard Guideline 3.3.3 - Accessible Authentication (Enhanced) is met because TearOff made the decision to completly forego the concept of authentication. TearOff is most likely to fail on simpler requirements like WCAG 2.2 AAA's criteria for a contrast ratio of 7:1 for text and images - not that it wasn't the goal, just that some elements in certain states were missed.
Development required to meet WCAG 2.2 AAA will be prioritized over other bug fixes and new feature development.
Any accessibility issues can be reported to TearOff's GitHub page: TearOff - Issues.

Tools Used for a11y Testing
Many tools are needed. There isn't a single one that I've found that covers everything and no tool can provide the full evaluation that can only be achieved with manual testing. The fun never ends.
a11y Bug Tracking
Bugs that are found after something hits production are logged in TearOff's GitHub page for issues: TearOff Issues. Bugs found during the inital test runs on the homepage are logged, for the app - testing is still in progress.
