Duel of the Mind's Eye- Fight opponents in an arena with rock-paper-scissor game mechanics. It's a simple game I made completely with Gemini- doing my best to make sure it created it to be both low vision and screen reader friendly.

Can Gemini count to 200? Or perhaps the questions should be how badly does it fail at doing so? I tested it in this video... 😅

Is love blind? Or is it the only one that truly sees? Is it blind to our flaws? Or does it choose to stay regardless? Does love blindly accept us where, and as, we are? Or does love accept us, while it calls us to hope, to aspire for greater?

If you use Meta products like Facebook and Instagram with Assistive Technology,, you can report issues with this form. I didn't know they had a form like this until someone shared it! Cool!

I wanted to give copilot a try and asked, "what is 17:00 GMT in eastern time?" It told me 22:00 eastern. lol. This was the copilot in Bing. I then tried in the windows + c version of copilot and that gave me the right answer. Hmm. I'm going back to Gemini now. ✨

Oh, I actually love these little modals that remind you to attach files for emails. They really are a life saver! However, I do remember telling teachers that I really did forget to attach the file (when I actually didn't do the assignment) and I guess that excuse doesn't work anymore. 😅

How do you feel about accessibility statements? 1️⃣ - Very important, no matter what! 2️⃣ - Nice, but actions speak louder than words! 3️⃣ - Doesn't matter as long as the app/website is accessible!

I love Patreon's new web dark mode and they also even changed a lot of the buttons to have darker backgrounds with light text. (Actual dark mode) Can we just fix the create button at the bottom left? It's glaringly bright. That would be lovely! 🙏
