Has anyone used accessifyhtml5.js in their apps or web sites? - https://github.com/yatil/accessifyhtml5.js
Do you know if it is helpful?
If it actually makes pages more accessible or just puts unnecessary aria attributes into the markup?
Thanks for your help!

I have not. Ultimately I wish projects like this weren't necessary but I
am aware of bugs in screen readers such as VoiceOver that make adding ARIA
to implicit HTML5 semantics tempting in certain circumstances. For
example, VoiceOver on the iPad will automatically append a percent to
values of the input element type range. To get values spoken without
percent you have to add an ARIA role and aria-valuetext. Similarly,
aria-required seems to be more widely supported than the HTML5 required
attribute.
