QA Syntax Detector: Catching Errors Before They Become Problems
Quality assurance work is repetitive and detail-oriented. A single missed tag can break an entire document. I built something to catch what human eyes miss.
QA work is humbling. You can read the same document twenty times and miss the same malformed tag every single time. Your brain autocorrects what it expects to see. It's not carelessness — it's how human perception works.
The QA Syntax Detector doesn't have that problem. It doesn't get tired. It doesn't autocorrect. It checks every tag, every attribute, every nesting relationship with the same attention on pass 200 as on pass 1.
I built the first version in a weekend, driven by a specific incident: a batch of documents went to a client with inconsistent tag nesting. The client caught it. We didn't. That was the kind of embarrassment that makes you go home and build something so it never happens again.
The multi-file version came two months later, when the single-file version was so useful that people immediately asked for batch processing. Now you can drop in an entire project folder and get a comprehensive syntax report across every file. Error type, file name, line number, context. Everything you need to fix it fast.
