Wild SownOne thing to not do to your #neurodivergent friends with #disabilities:
When they finally reach out, meekly sharing something they've been working on, after a few quiet months:
Please don't accuse them of **being** an AI.
Seriously.
Offer a little grace to people you've known and seen struggle for more than a decade.

Most AI guides assume you can see the screen. This one doesn't.

#Quill #ScreenReader #Accessibility #Blind #AssistiveTech #Windows
Quill 0.7.0 Beta is here, and this is the biggest one yet. Quill is a screen-reader-first writing and document environment for Windows and Mac, and it is a community project, built by people who use screen readers every day. The edit field is a plain text field, no custom controls fighting your screen reader. It tells you the result, not every step it took. Move through a document by heading, list, table, or code block, like a web page.
