Ok, I think my space repetition system is in enough of a usable state I can let the world know about it.
The problem: space-repetition systems (programs to help people learn by scheduling when to review things) are not accessible with screen readers.
The solution (or at least my solution): create a space-repetition learning system with accessibility first. It is written in Rust, uses wxdragon for its gui toolkit, and is accessible on windows (modulo one particular weird niggle that's not functionality-blocking but a bit annoying; when tabbing onto a list the selected item is read twice by NVDA).
Anyway, if you're blind and need an SRS, this may suit your needs, or not. It's beta. GPLv3.

@modulux Looking forward to giving this a try. I previously had quite a bit of success with Anki on iOS, but with significant limitations and a steep learning curve.

@modulux very cool :) I would love to see cards that can incorporate either audio or tts in specific languages for language learning, as well as a way to import Anki decks, but those are seemingly big asks for where the project is right now and how it works. Will still definitely give this a try though :)
