This looks pretty neat! A few questions: 1. Are there plans for a multi-browser (especially mobile web) test runner? 2. Are there plans to detect change provenance (eg. if I change my heading height on a page, all the content below it will shift down. The change I really want to be notified about is that the header's height changed, not that everything was pushed down because of it)? 3. There are a lot of similar tools (eg. back in the day I used https://github.com/facebookarchive/huxley) - where does Appraise succeed where those tools failed, or what does Appraise do better?
