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.

Really interesting post, thanks for writing that.

It's kind of like how I want to create a music group for covid-careful people. It would be easier and more popular if I were to set up a music group _without_ any covid precautions - but I'm interested in building for the covid-careful side, for myself and my friends.

@unchartedworlds It's all about making sure you serve the community you want to serve, rather than let the louder and majority voices dictate where you take things.
