       @weirdwriter Thank you for writing this. I'm blind too and the possibility of /never/ having been unable to use an app or service hadn't even occurred to me. People who do have that luxury really should be employing and consulting the likes of us to see what it's like because they'll never appreciate our difficulties otherwise.Also I looked at your bio and wanted to say I love the phrase "accessibility accelerationist!" I hadn't encountered that before, and it's just the best.

       @error_1202 @weirdwriter this made me think that maybe we need open source, free software with alternative interfaces. I want to explore what can be done with something like, say, a text editor, graphing calculator or email/calendar/chat if we don't have to conform to traditional graphical UI. Basically combine something like audiogame interfaces and HUDs for every day apps that isn't dumbed down to "choose menu item from a list". I feel like there could maybe be potential somewhere...
