    It’s so amazing how far assistive technology has come!

    This is a fantastic article but I wish he would have included some wish list or constructive criticism, clearly there are areas of improvement!

    But to discern an ask from his writings: At the end he mentions the complexities of working so many different purpose-specific tools— is this perhaps the next area of progress, tool integration and a cohesive experience?

    Insanely cool blog post. I had no idea about the XBox Adaptive Controller: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/accessories/controllers/xbox-adap...

    I am surprised that we have not seen some sick setups shared on HN.

    There are several Twitch streamers with similar setups.

    It's discouraging when they haven't streamed for a while like NoHandsKen, though I'm surprised to not find any evidence of a couple streams 3-6 months ago.

    this sort of digital accessibility fascinates me. I'd love to get into working in that field.
