How do you know they're American? As a Canadian I'm disgusted by this, reeks of fascism to me.

In what way is that inaccurate? The ad hominem only tells me that maybe it is indeed correct.

$9-million? Yikes.

Hi Nate, Will any of that $30M go towards making Lever's website even remotely accessible to screen readers and such? If you're not sure what I'm talking about, try visiting your website with Safari and VoiceOver enabled and

The fact that the real Erwin van Haarlem seemingly vanished is suspicious. I would assume you would only want to assign an identity of someone who is known to be dead, yet the orphanage apparently sent many letters to the mother. Assuming t

There was also a push to put ads on the player's jerseys. This is already common in sports like football/soccer. It is just visual noise at this point.

Yes, shoot me an email (in my profile) and I can invite you to the Google Group.

I have created both, still a work in progress, but once there's something to show a Show HN might be in order. https://github.com/blind-dev https://blinddev.org

No, but I have now. Very cool.

In addition to this Google Group, I have also created the following GitHub organization: https://github.com/blind-dev And have started a website to provide a resource for software development and accessibility: https:&#x2F

If this is directed at me, I don't think I'm arguing to put blind developers in a corner. The tools that could be developed could either be new or improvements on existing tools. The latter sounds like your preference, but I don&#

I have an Echo and it is a life changer for a blind person. I've written a few trivial skills for it, but definitely would like to do more.

You're welcome. :) I was feeling pretty down and wanted something positive to come out of it. Glad to see I'm not alone.

There might be something here. I'm personally not a fan of shaming, but documenting where a piece of software falls short and making specific recommendations in a public forum might go a long way.

I didn't know that Fedora's accessibility was better than Ubuntu's. I had pretty much stopped using Linux on the desktop because Orca in Ubuntu just left me wanting more. But I'll definitely give Fedora a try now. Thanks

I don't know if there's a market for this, but I'd be interested in exploring it. You or your friend can get in touch with me, my email is in my profile.

Wow, lots of potential here. Will definitely reach out.

What would this look like?(no pun intended) Like a web site that documents accessibility issues for common web sites and software? Or a guide that walks through a typical development process for a blind dev?

This is really cool, thanks for sharing. Will try it out.

This is really interesting. I've often thought about a browser extension that could describe a web page. I don't mean text, as screen readers are (usually) more than capable there. I mean a visual description like: "The web s

You aren't coming off as arrogant at all. I've thought a lot about this, largely because I'm faced with it every day. There are probably two ways to approach the accessibility problem: 1. Make the inaccessible accessible thro

Ask HN: Any other blind devs interested in working on dev tools for the blind?
