Today was the end of axe-hackathon 2021 and I was presenting my work with aXeSiA, my first open source, accessibility oriented, project<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was not even playing with the idea that aXeSiA will win, just to make that clear. It is not so innovative and it’s impact and reach are not hackathon material. It was just because of the timing – I wanted to make a tool for myself and axe-con asked if we can maybe have some ideas for axe-hackathon. So I just went with the flow. I will need the tool for myself, but it is based on open-source, so why not share it with others, maybe even cooperate with multiple people to add more features and fix more bugs quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations to the winner and also other projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It was also funny when I listened to other project presentations and wanted to be with them as well. Especially winner project – called Inclusiville (opens in new window)<\/a> – seemed something very interesting. I’ve actually worked on something similar in my spare time – trying to simulate how a screen-reader works for sighted people and give them tasks to solve. But I did not get far with my experiment because I needed testing tool more. But the idea is brilliant and I was not surprised they won. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other 3 projects were also extremely good:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
