Screen readers can now navigate issue and PR timelines as lists, announcing structure, item count, and position for easier navigation.

Version 3.0 of Perspective Intelligence will fully run on the Apple Foundation Models framework with several backends. AFM Core and Advanced, MLX, LiteRT and, cloud models. I've also added tool agent concurrency and several more improvements to the app.

GPT 6 Sol and Luna are here and they are 50% cheaper than 5.6 variants.
😳
Luna was already the best value in the game and now its...half as much as it was yesterday when I made this video showing costs for various projects.

Let's make this easy to follow. From now on, if you're reading my MacBook Neo book, have a question, or just want to talk about it, use the hashtag #MBNeoBook. That way I can find your posts, answer your questions, and follow the whole conversation in one place. Tag away.

A friend asked:
“Is there an AirDrop for Windows?”
My answer: Tailscale.
But for me, it replaced more than file transfer.
No more fighting with:
•
port forwarding
•
fragile VPN setups
•
broken sync workflows
Now I just:
•
SSH by hostname
•
send files directly
•
access my machines from anywhere
The real win is I stopped thinking about networking problems.
I wrote how I actually use it:

I spent all day on this one.
My MacBook Neo setup guide is live on Substack.
VoiceOver.

This weekend was something special.
We ran a 16 hour workshop teaching people how to use Git and GitHub accessibly.
From the very beginning. What a repo is. How to clone, commit, push, and collaborate. All of it done with a screen reader.
Then we went further.
Students learned to build their own custom agents with VS Code and GitHub Copilot. @JeffBishop built image agents that are already in the workshop repo and ready to use.
People came in not knowing Git. They left feeling confident enough to contribute to open source.
Thank you to @JeffBishop, @mikedoise, and every single person who made this happen.
This is what accessibility education looks like when the community shows up.

Folks often ask for a list of best practices partnering with agents in @code, and we've compiled a list here!
Want to learn more about features in the new VS Code release?
Our latest blog post walks you through some of the top highlights, centered on making agents practical for real-world development.

Hey @thdxr @jayair @adamdotdev @fanjiewang -- @opencode is completely unusable with a screen reader. Spinners, animations, and decorative unicode make the TUI hostile to blind users.
There's a working PR that's been sitting for over a month with no review. Code passes checks, it works, and screen reader users are waiting.
Can we get some eyes on this?

Friday night: 6 accessibility agents in a personal repo. Monday: 47 agents, 3 platforms, a GitHub org, and a community.
I was tired of AI forgetting accessibility. So was @JeffBishop . He showed up Saturday morning and started building. 43 commits in 5 days. We did not plan this. We just built.

Hey @pierceboggan , I opened a PR on Primer adding a --accessible flag for screen reader support.
I'm a blind developer and the TUI was unusable with VoiceOver. Every box-drawing character gets read aloud individually. The flag strips all that out and replaces it with plain text.

Hey @pierceboggan @burkeholland @code @github! Me and @JeffBishop are building an entire accessibility agents suite called Accessibility Agents. They work in Claude and Copilot to help developers catch accessibility issues while they code, building more accessible components from the start. It does not replace manual testing but it helps developers get it right before code even ships.
For now the project is at github.com/taylorarndt/a11y-…. We will be moving it so it is more community based. If you want to contribute, jump in. We welcome all skill levels.
We would love your feedback.

Agents are coming! Get subscribed to Perspective Intelligence All Access and get ready for 1.6! perspectiveintelligence.app
Woot! More VSCode goodness from the team. Thank you!: Improved chat askQuestion carousel now has improved accessibility. ARIA labels have been added, keyboard focus can be moved to the container, and focus no longer automatically moves to the first response. A new command and keybinding is available to focus the first response in screen reader mode.
I am very proud of my contribution to Visual Studio Code. I hope to have more issues/pull requests accepted in the near future. I love contributing and making a difference: Improved screen reader accessibility for quick input dialogs. ARIA attributes are now dynamically set only when the list is active, preventing redundant announcements. The Go to Line dialog (Ctrl+G) now provides proper screen reader announcements for characters typed and list item navigation. #292353, github.com/microsoft/vscode/…. Thank you Megan and the entire Visual Studio Code team for believing in me, supporting me and supporting the entire blind and low vision community. It means more to me then you realize and I am so thankful.
