Let me clarify. The heavy lifting wouldn't be done by the iPhone itself, but by connected devices, similar to how you print a document using a Bluetooth printer connected to your iPhone. Imagine having all the necessary medical equipme

It won't be a medical device only, it is a medical device and reading, interpreting the results like a doctor and giving you a meaningful answer.

It is not just my imagination. If you follow the features that Apple is adding to their watches, you realize my predictions aren't that far off. Apple will do it inch-by-inch, though. They won't declare this app at once, but rathe

This would actually be a revolutionary idea. Imagine the iPhone becoming your primary doctor, eliminating the need for traditional visits. This has never happened before. Have a fever? Use this digital thermometer to measure your body tempe

That's actually a good question, accessibility testing is meant for blind people, so what I will be testing is whether the component on the screen is readable by the screen reader. For example, one company that really makes all their a

Yes, I thought HN is where smart people hang out. At first, I thought posting on Reddit, but for some reason Reddit isn't what it used to be, the demographics of Reddit is different, the topics and discussions is different, it seems to

Yes, you are right, I've noticed as well. But I can see how an indie-dev, who's usually working on with small budget, thinks accessibility is too expensive and a "luxury" thing. As someone who writes apps both in Swift &

Yeah, you are right accessibility is one of those edge areas that most companies don't make it a priority. But in the U.S there's a federal law that requires if you have a website or an app that is meant for public use, that webs

Yes, there's a federal law that requires all banks as well as most companies to be accessible. But the question is: how can I pass the HR wall, I am pretty confident if I was given a chance to prove my skills, I can. But the issue is,

Thank you for your suggestion, I really appreciate your tip. I willl go to that website and contact them.

I can't think of any particular channel that focuses on accessibility, but I am pretty sure they're a lot of people talking about it. What device does this blind person uses PC or Mobile?

That makes sense, because that would be discrimination. But I wonder how Hooters can get away with only hiring "models" whatever that means? But I think the term "attractive" is a lot more liquid than being "blind&q
