Interesting and promising! A few points: (for context, I'm a decent developer working as designer) - Considering the usual use of PSDs (contract work, most of it is under some sort of NDA), online uploading tool makes this a bit worrisome. I would much prefer drag-and-drop offline solution, similar to Slicy app. That would fit into designers' workflow and we could see some improvements. - Right now the "grading" area…

this is true but if you don't take the grades to heart it doesn't really matter I guess except that it swings the overall figure.

Improvements can be made though for sure. It could be a personalized machine learning algorithm but I don't think it's there yet :D

Or, better yet, how bout building this into Photoshop... run the lint & have it suggest re-factorings for the user?

> Several non-integer font sizes are used. OK to refactor?

+1 for turning this into a Photoshop plugin

Looks like the math is off for the grade. Received an F for a place and still got a 100% A somehow. http://i.imgur.com/CaEeG3o.jpg

thanks for pointing that out, all resolved!

I'm seeing the same issue with other PSDs that generate Fs
