New Accessible TeamTalk Client for Mac – Looking for Beta Testers | AppleVis

Hello everyone, I've developed a native TeamTalk client for macOS that's fully accessible with VoiceOver. As you know, the official TeamTalk version on Mac is completely inaccessible, so I built an alternative from scratch.

hay everyone! I am thrilled to anounce the release of our new trivia game, quizzy! quizzy is a trivia based game where you need to answer Multiple choice questions to progress. unlike many other trivia based games, quizzy fetches the questions from online sources, insuring you get new questions each time you play. thanks @Aryan for making the release truly possible. you can find the github repo at https://github.com/amanKG777/Quizzy feedbacks/suggestions are welcome. also feel free to open any issue on the delicated page of the repo.
I have a link for you all. Want to try out a very early beta of TeamTalk manager? Have at it!
Please keep in mind that as stated earlier, this is early software. Things will be broken or may not behave as expected.
We have tested it for a few weeks now, most functionality works and there are more features planned.

Join the TeamTalkManager beta

Available on iOS

So, I've been working on a lot of things this year. The main thing that I wanted to talk about in this post is my first iPhone app, TeamTalk manager.
TeamTalk manager allows one to manage multiple TeamTalk servers and obtain information about all managed servers at a glance, as well as perform administrative functions. You can review user accounts, send server broadcasts, create / update channels, manage files on the server (including the ability to download them to your phone), and more planned! If you've ever used the TeamTalk console, it is pretty much the same thing but for mobile.

iOS 26.4 beta 2 introduces two new VoiceOver features:
1. You can now assign gestures to navigate to the next/previous edit field, as well as search field, or add them to your rotor.
2. Under Braille settings, you will find a new touch curtain feature, which will disable touch screen completely while you use your Braille display, to prevent accidental touch input.
I've just spent far too long writing the beginnings of a ridiculous music game for web browsers. You use either a MIDI keyboard or the computer keyboard (a s d f g h j k). The game plays a bar of random notes and you have to play it back, correct notes and correct timing. As you level up, the patterns get more rhythmically complicated. If you make 5 mistakes, game over; you have to start again. Still probably a lot more to do to make this more interesting, but I'm curious as to whether anyone finds this remotely worthwhile.
One challenge right now is how to calibrate if you don't have absolute pitch. I feel like I might need to add some sort of screen where it plays you a few notes until you find the right ones or something. For now, note that it's in A minor, A3 to A4.

I do have a question though. Is there a way to tell if a contact adds you to there contacts?
I know, another post about Thrive Messenger. If you wish to add me, my username is Jonathan.

Let's talk about 'Move Everything':

An unofficial framework for running custom instruments, effects, and controllers on Ableton Move.
Move Everything adds a Shadow UI that runs alongside stock Move, enabling additional Synths, FX, and other tools to run in parallel to the usual UI.

One person, Charles Vestal has managed to slipstream a screen-reader directly onto Move using either Flight or ESpeak-NG, taking advantage of Ableton's own Screen-Reader data and also made it so that the WiFi pin that their web-based offering doesn't read, reads on-device.
The guy is an actual genius.
It does way more than I can begin to mention here, but for the first time ever, we have a groovebox with screen-reader that is 100% actually stand-alone, no need to be tied to a phone or computer of any kind.

Hello everyone! I apologize for being silent so long after sharing about so many upcoming releases well over a month ago now. Well, I now officially have an update on at least one of the items I talked about at the beginning of the year. I'm happy to say that Constant Motion, my collection of endless runners, is now finally available as a mobile game on Android! Not only that, but a Mac OS release is available as well, and though it's admittedly the least tested out of all of them, I'm even providing a tentative Linux build for those who want to try it! The windows build is now properly signed as well, so no more pesky antivirus warnings. I'm calling this Constant Motion version 1.2.0. Though the update doesn't contain much in the way of game improvements - the goal is just to make it more available thus far, I hope everyone enjoys some new scoreboard competitors, playing on your preferred platform, and the new mobile experience if you have an Android device! Some smaller changes include a basic builtin help, the ability to view the change history from within the game's option menu, reverb in a couple of games, and a few other small odds and ends revolving around stability. As these ports of the game get more stable, I am quite excited to start really working on the contents of the game again soon - there's much I want to do with it still!
