- 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" areas are few, and somewhat questionable. Mostly questionable is the use of different fonts and font sizes. Many designs benefit from 5-6 different fonts, slightly varying in weight and sizes for best legibility. Some designs are only possible because of that. Much more meaningful insights would be, for instance, non-integer font sizes (23.989 instead of 24), or use of too many font families, opposed to just "fonts" (same family, different weights).
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?

Received an F for a place and still got a 100% A somehow.
