In plain words
Ever wanted to look at yourself in Braille is a project that converts visual images into Braille representation, allowing users to experience themselves through tactile text patterns. Designed for blind and visually impaired individuals, it offers a novel way to explore self-perception through an alternative sensory format. The tool bridges accessibility and self-expression by translating visual information into Braille, making personal imagery interpretable for those who read Braille.

I built this many years ago to try out rendering images in textboxes, using braille characters as groups of 8 pixels. You can try different fonts to see how the spacing changes too.

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…
