Thinking about getting an e-ink sign test kit to try creating a dry-erase-board style thing that's drawn on remotely using a phone app, to make a simultaneously accessible and collaborative board setup.

Wonder if I could crowd-fund the ~$2k USD I'd need...

#DisabilityDrivenDevelopment

#disabilitydrivendevelopment is a great idea and it makes me think about accessible training environments for those with mental illness, or are recovering from brain injury.

the internet enables remote work and it enables very low cost employee onboarding. there is no reason not to start any and all training environments someone could ask for.

and because it cost nothing to add them as a teammate there's no reason to kick people off. there's no incentive to kick people out just for not doing enough work.

just let people learn. make more remote training environments.

Doing things on a very limited spoon supply can lead to interesting timelines... like finally, two and a half years into a project, being able to properly formally document the involvement of someone who has been instrumental from even before the beginning.

Super proud to add Quinn's section to the story of SpoonStack: https://spoonstack.org/about.html

#DisabilityDrivenDevelopment

Rough concept sketch.

There will be more to say about this as spoons allow, but this is what I can do for now.

Sometimes, developing while disabled means celebrating the days when a 45-minute break in the pain means actually being able to turn on the computer for a change, and getting a tiny bit more code written.

(I want to do a full blog post of stuff like this at some point, but, well... refer to the above.)

What would it be like if we could make the work of healing, liberation, and restoration feel easier to people than the choice to continue enduring being oppressed?

#DisabilityDrivenDevelopment

"Disability justice is rooted in interdependence and demands that systems, institutions, and our movements for liberation be accessible to all. Not from a place of charity, but from the recognition that people with disabilities hold a vision for our collective liberation that is often more nuanced and complete than many of us have."

(From Healing Justice Lineages, by Cara Page and Erica Woodland; emphasis is my own.)

Always delighted to run into more people in the world who recognize and are willing to name this truth!

#DisabilityDrivenDevelopment

Been feeling pretty sick today, but had enough spoons to finish up a really rough first draft of something I'm very excited about.

My digital community toolkit now has the (very rudimentary) beginnings of the features to "teach" federated servers new types of content and new kinds of interactions. All consent-based, of course, so there's no real abuse potential to it, but lots of opportunities to play and explore and come up with new ways to hang out online together.

Hopefully I'll feel well enough to do a proper blog post about it soon!

#DisabilityDrivenDevelopment

One of the core ideas of my SwitchBoard project is to enable very different types of software technology to work together smoothly.

Today I finished a basic example of my high-efficiency server, BitLadle, running a basic dynamic web site. The server and all the relevant "sticky" code are all in C++. The content is all built in C#.

And it just works.

Radical accessibility is cool.

This effort to create a worker-operated courier platform in Ghana is such a wonderful example of the things I want from #DisabilityDrivenDevelopment in general:

People creating stuff, for themselves, because they want to.

Beautiful.
