What it does
Deaf people across the world are forced to pay over $50/yr for Apps that they need to use in their everyday lives. Instead we decided to provide it for free in 15+ languages, following Khan Academy's model, to ensure everyone has access to tools needed!

It works pretty well. Very satisfied. I use it to help my great grandma (who is very hard of hearing) understand what is being said to her. It’s truly worth it. She feels more included in daily life and we don’t have to repeat ourself 100 times. It’s saved her a lot of heartache. It works pretty well. Very satisfied.

I created a PoC for live descriptions of the surroundings for the blind2025 · github.com · ▲73The difference in cost between products that are developed as accessibility tools compared to consumer products is huge. One example is camera glasses where the accessibility product costs ~$3000 (Envision Glasses), and the consumer product costs ~$300 (Ray-Ban Meta). In this case the Ray-Ban Meta is getting accessibility features. The functionality is promising according to reviews, but requires the user to say "Hey meta what am I looking at" every time a scene is to be described. The battery life seem underwhelming as well. It would be nice to have an cheap and open source alternative to…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
