About OverlayQA, built by Emilia Veras

OverlayQA detects visual bugs, accessibility issues, and design drift on any live, staging, or local page, then turns them into dev-ready issues. It's built by Emilia Veras, a designer and front-end engineer with 15 years in design-to-dev handoff.

Why OverlayQA exists

For 15 years across design and front-end engineering, the handoff loop never changed: a designer hands off a screen, an engineer builds it, and the gap between the two surfaces days later as drifted spacing, an almost-right color, or a missing focus ring. "Quick QA" was never quick. It was hours of screenshots and Slack threads across three days.

AI build tools made the loop faster and louder at once. They generate a working UI in minutes but can't tell you what's broken in it. OverlayQA inspects the live build, not just the design, and surfaces what's actually wrong before it reaches a stakeholder, a client, or a user.

What OverlayQA does

Built for designers, front-end engineers, QA engineers, and product managers. One click captures a screenshot, computed CSS, the element selector, and viewport metadata from any URL. AI turns a plain-language note into a structured, dev-ready issue. Accessibility and design-system audits flag problems no one reported yet. Everything syncs two-way with Jira, Linear, Notion, Slack, Asana, and Trello.

Research and writing

Emilia publishes original design QA research, including an audit of 375 sites for design token drift and teardowns of AI-generated builds from Figma Make, Bolt, and Lovable. Read the research on Medium.
