Welp.

As of this morning, I am no longer employed, and am looking for a new role.

If you happen to know anyone hiring remote positions in the US, and looking for:

- Lead/Senior/Principal level software engineers (Ruby/Rails, React, NodeJS, etc.)
- Business Analysts
- Engineering Managers

please let me know.

Here a small movie by the Norwegian Consumer Council inspired by @pluralistic

A couple of months ago a family friend had a very serious health issue and he couldn't move or speak much. So I put together a web app with a set of phrases, connected to a game controller, in a way that he could just select phrases from the list to communicate. Luckily this person got better quickly, and this app was no longer needed, but I decided to improve this experiment and publish it as an Open Source project.

So, this is VoxEase. It can be operated with a mouse, a touch screen, a computer keyboard, a game controller using a single hand, or you can set it to scan the list of phrases automatically so you only need to press one button to pick your phrase.
It only requires a modern browser and once downloaded it works offline.
It supports multiple languages and it can also be used by people with sight impairments (it works with screen readers).

Any suggestions on how to make it better are welcome!

UPDATE: I got so many great responses! Thank you all! It will take me a little time to get back to everyone, but I promise I will do so.

IDK seems fun to post this.

I can't see it doing any good but I've signed https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/737660 and emailed my MP (Robert Jenrick) to let him know my feelings don't match what he's sprouting on TV 🤣 .
