I made a keyboard because I needed one and nothing on Android was built for blind users. I put it on GitHub because someone else might need one. Then I woke up this morning and Mastodon had eaten it.

New blog post — what overnight virality actually looks like from the inside, the TalkBack problem nobody else bothered solving, Flexy, and why I spent the day building instead of panicking.

I Made a Keyboard Nobody Asked For: My Experience Making TapType — fireborn

@fireborn "i released some software, not a project". i feel that. i sometimes wonder who these people are who have time for such a project — while I rely on those projects myself every day and am greatful, to be sure.
@fishidwardrobe releasing a piece of software and releasing a community project are very different mindset
