It would be nice to be able to select which side of the page the panel appears on (right side as well as the left side) because some, in fact most sites have left side navigation panels.

Really useful tool when testing for accessibility, but i wish one could change the position of the panel to the right side. do you think this update could happen soon?

I saw a score for my website. What I did not see is which elements are making my score bad so I can improve them. All I know at this point is that it is a span element. There are over 400 of them on that page. Please tell us which one it is.
