This desktop app cuts weekly tasks that used to take hours. And it was built with accessibility in mind from day one. michael babcock of the American Council of the Blind used GitHub Copilot and JAWS to build ACB Community Builder, all as a non-developer. Now Michael's team can easily: • Navigate 100+ weekly community events • Edit events with custom, reliable keystrokes • Add events via fully labeled dialogs • Track event roles in the Hosting Portal Here's how it works. ▶️

Open source powers the software we all rely on - but if it isn't accessible, we're leaving people out. I'm excited to share a new guide just published on opensource.guide that gives maintainers practical, actionable steps to make their projects usable by everyone. Inside the guide: ✅ How to write an accessibility statement and ACCESSIBILITY .md ✅ Making docs accessible by default (headings, alt text, captions) ✅ Designing accessible interfaces (keyboard support, semantics, color & contrast) ✅ Building accessibility into PR checklists, issue templates, and CI ✅ Leveraging GitHub Copilot for accessibility tasks ✅ Continuous testing — automated and manual The core message: "Nothing about us without us." The most impactful thing you can do is partner with people with disabilities - early and often. You don't have to do everything at once. Start small this week: 🔹 Add an ACCESSIBILITY .md 🔹 Make sure every interactive element is keyboard reachable 🔹 Fix missing form labels 🔹 Add alt text to your README Every fix opens the door for someone who couldn't use your project before. That's a win worth celebrating. 🎉 Read the full guide: https://lnkd.in/eWWwJYJ7

This week on Open Source Friday, we’re joined by Principal Software Engineer Manfred Riem to explore Spec Kit and talk about what it means to build in the open. We’ll dig into what Spec Kit is, the problems it helps solve, and how contributors can use clear specs and shared context to build better tools together. If you’re curious about open source, developer tooling, and how ideas turn into practical projects, this stream is for you.
