A new day. A new chance to succeed.

I start the day with fresh bread and clean clothes. Now if I only had the gumption to follow up on yesterday's efforts.

I've little to do as the month winds to a close. A couple of small tasks in addition to the normal wood and water.

Perhaps I'll tackle a job that's been lurking on my desk.

Perhaps I won't.

Perhaps I'll throw caution to the wind and start a new project. We'll see.

May the wind blow in the direction you need #today

My name is Alexandra. I help build I Write Like, a text editor. Unless one is a tech giant, the chances of people discovering their creation are slim, regardless of how wonderful the creation is. I wanted to change that, so I came to Mastodon.
I’m a writer. I share my short stories and poems, often illustrated with my own art and photography. I'm also interested in #science, #history, and #music.
I’m fairly new here and still learning.

#Writing #Art

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!
