Just learned about GridReader, a free tool for Blind programmers that might make it easier to explore complex nested code. My #Python experience is limited to experimenting with the BBC Microbit, and so far i've just set my screen reader to report indentation level. #Blind coders: how do you handle indentation and navigating complex code bases? Does GridReader seem useful? https://www.psu.edu/news/information-sciences-and-technology/story/new-coding-tool-could-aid-computer-programmers-who-are/?fbclid=IwAR1AFWy5E5XrPF8u__Lh3dke6AqTuhiNReqCIip0sarmGT1MppdFwHx4h74

Bonnie and I are enjoying the Audible Harry Potter dramatizations. My only disappointment, and it is a big one, is that Sonos still isn't playing Audible content in Atmos. I hope that gets addressed at some point.
