All my life I have been aware I needed something like this for reading. Sadly those who didn’t have ADHD around me repeated their unhelpful advice about how to be a better reader so often I began to doubt myself. I am a person with a very high IQ that was assessed late in life as a result of my work to get diagnosed with ADHD. No one could understand how I was as intelligent as I obviously was, and yet had trouble with reading. People went to far as to doubt my authenticity when I insisted reading was a problem. They routinely put written documents in front of me to sign or to read and respond to, and then talked right over my reading them. They acted flustered and indignant when I had to…from apps.apple.com

Hey HN, I 3d scanned the interior of the Great Pyramid / Khufu's pyramid for the Giza Project this summer and just finished the guided version to share.

Matterport's web display with Three.js has been the most accessible to a wide audience in the past (previous iterations are in Unity and Unreal, but difficult to download over slower connections). I've been interviewing social studies teachers around the 6th grade level to…

APIs are a little like the open road—always waiting, full of opportunity, but hardly utilized. So here’s America, composed of several APIs that paint a vivid, real-time picture of a good old-fashioned road trip. Get local classifieds and photos. Tune into local radio stations. Talk wit other drivers. And more. Exploring the country by car was an invaluable experience for me during my time in the states. I’ve since moved to Barcelona, and find myself missing the territory. This is my attempt at recreating the magic.
