Discover how blind tech enthusiasts are using vibe coding and AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT to create accessible apps, manage photo libraries, and tackle real-life challenges with Bluetooth audio, dictation, and image descriptions.
In this lively episode of Double Tap, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece dive into listener emails exploring the rise of vibe coding—where blind users leverage AI to create apps, add-ons, and personal tools without traditional coding knowledge.
