@TheEvilSkeleton@social.treehouse.systems while not blind here, I use remind(1), a command-line application for my calendar and occasionally use it within a screen reader (last time I tested, I used yasr+flite in a console). A few of the remind features I appreciate in a screen-reader: • the ability to customize reminder output makes a world of difference. Even simple things like ordinal determination ("John's 21st birthday" rather than "John's birthday, born 2005") • the ability to use any text-editor to edit the calendar, whether vi/vim, emacs, ed, nano, or something in the GUI • the ability to separate reminders from their metadata presentation. I can make my reminders more terse depending on context. I can include certain calendars ("I just want my personal calendar, birthdays/anniversaries, work, and my family members' calendars, not finances, chores, etc") • and because it's all text, I can pipe output to other programs to mail my agenda to my phone or grep it, or use the machine-readable output format to pipe to grep or other programs to ingest it
