"Welcome to Stacker News!"

Thank you.

"My comment is to focus on Bitcoin and forget about the shitcoins. A couple of years ago a dev was developing a Bitcoin Wallet for Blind people, I lost track of this project but maybe you are interested. Here is an article about it:"

Thank you. I'll take a look. I just couldn't even imagine how functional Bitcoin could be. I am glad that it is also possible to do decentralized projects here.

"Welcome! Is there anything obvious we can do to make stacker news easier to use for people with limited sight?"

Hello. Sorry for the late response. I was programming... There is not enough level 1 heading for articles on the page with the title (h1). There is not enough designation with h2 or h3 headers on the page of the post feeds. It's easier to navigate through them this way. In general, it is quite convenient. Thank you.

"I'm not always conscious of accessibility stuff when I'm programming - but I'd like to get better". I'm glad of it.

"Kind of a tangent but one professor I had in college said the best programmer he knew was blind ... he guessed it was something about the increased cost of debugging leading to better code overall".

We read the code line by line, according to the words. Therefore, the quality is probably better, although I often encounter shortcomings in my own, and since it takes a long time to read a large code, I encounter them in the process of work.

"1. How do you program? Do you use text-to-speech for your code?"

Да. Я использую программу экранного доступа NVDA, озвучивающую все мои действия и события в ОС. Естественно читаю и пишу код тоже с её помощью.

"2. Can you imagine what "seeing" is like? Or is that like asking someone to imagine a color he has never seen before?"

I have very weak partial vision, so I see large objects, distinguish some colors. But I can't read the text on paper or monitor anymore, just as I don't understand the images on the monitor.

"3. Would you say your other senses are heightened compared to "seeing people"?

Yes. I noticed this.

"4. Do you still "see" something like blackness or how can I imagine how it is to be blind? I also guess there is a difference if you were blind from birth vs. becoming blind afterwards."

As I have already said, fortunately there is partial vision, but it is impossible to use it in technology, so I dream of restoration. I have poor eyesight since birth: the optic nerve is damaged.

lol, I think I mistook this for an AMA haha

Thank you. I use the NVDA screen access program. She voices all my actions and events in the system with a speech synthesizer: a specially generated voice. I perceive the code as a specific language of speech.

Thank you. You are welcome.

"you are an inspiration for us all"

Thank you.

"welcome to stacker.news. have some sats homie".

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

"Welcome to the community Denis! Great to have you here!"

Thank you.

"Let the folks know if there are aspects of Bitcoin that are particularly not accessible."

It seems that core wallet wasn't particularly affordable, but I don't remember anymore, because now I use another one: Alby, as well as one with a lot of cryptocurrencies. Thank you for asking.
