This is cool. I just posted the link on a blind gamers' Discord. I don't do much D&D--really want to change that at some point--but they're frequently complaining about D&D Beyond …

Because I want it to look good (or at least OK) and work on mobile.

Blind screen reader user and game developer here. As of a recent release, egui pushes out some events that I'm able to consume and provide TTS feedback for. You can find a simple B…

Same. I've been using Bevy to experiment with some accessible game mechanics for the past few months now. The speed from which I can go from "I really want map exploration to repor…

Funny you should say that. I'm a blind screen reader user, and assumed this was some new 7-inch laptop. Since I don't need a huge screen, I'm always on the lookout for small, perfo…

This is a surprisingly personal legal battle for me. I'm totally blind. For a long while now, iOS has been the mobile accessibility leader, and unless you as a blind person have so…

Will it be possible to temporarily turn off example.com, let its absence propagate across the network a bit, then turn it back on under a new server? Synapse has been good to me, b…

Wow, native English speaker and I didn't even get the pun until this comment. I thought it was a stupid play on "What app should we message each other on?" and thus kind of a silly…

Careful about calling something a dumb justification. It's often the simplistic-seeming features that expose unforseen privacy issues, in large part because today's internet is suc…

Do you have an automated way for turning it off when you're on home wifi? Trying a similar setup, and it isn't immediately clear other than via manual activation how to not use Wir…

Nice, should be good enough for now for me. Is there a GitHub issue or something I can watch for updates?

Haven't looked at Ghost in a while. The subscription system looks neat. I'd recently considered launching an indie game development site for a very niche style of gaming (audio-onl…

Sometimes it's about taking what you can get, even if the solution is only partial. As a blind woodworker, I can't route a pattern laid out on flimsy material, but make a wooden te…

They're just so easy to work with, and while directions are great, they're not strictly necessary to at least make something. Compare that with the handful of model cars I tried pl…

Minor nit, but as a blind person who does various types of crafting (woodworking, most recently) I do care how things look. If I was building a lego set for fun only, I may not, ca…

My girlfriend uses a wheelchair. She is physically incapable of turning on and off most of her lights, meaning if someone leaves a light on, she's stuck with that light left on unt…

Oh good, glad RLS performance got a boost. Unfortunately my Postgraphile implementation for that project was replaced with Drupal, but I'm glad RLS performance is less of a concern…

Thanks for this. Lots of developers fall into the trap of discarding concepts because they aren't Facebook/Google scale solutions. The app on which I used Postgraphile/RLS was like…

Thanks for these explanations! As a blind person who works more productively in a text editor than a web interface[0], here are a few things that might help: * Give me the ability …

Good points, thanks. I keep forgetting that RLS is a fairly recent Postgres feature--2016 or so if I'm not mistaken.

Out of curiosity, what is the rationalle for abandoning RLS? In a previous project, I used Postgraphile and enjoyed it. Sure, RLS and PLPGSQL were a bit awkward, but I knew they we…

That's fair. I accept that isn't what you meant. Thanks for confirming it, and apologies for the implication.

Fair point. On one hand it makes me a little sad to see parades rained on. On the other, I assume folks want some degree of criticism if their ideas have some sort of flaw. On the …

I don't think it'd be salt in a wound--or at least I wouldn't see it as such. I do wish someone smarter than I am could come up with an accessibility backend to map GUIs to accessi…
