NVDA is 20 years old this year. Two blind developers in Australia built a free, open-source screen reader that millions of people now depend on across every continent, in dozens of languages, often on the oldest hardware available. This project is a place to write about that.
nvda-20-master-doc.md has 166 prompts across 12 sections. You don't have to answer all of them, or any of them in order. Write an essay, a memory, a single line, or come back later.
- First Encounters and Transitions
- The Early Days and History
- Personal Stories and Moments
- Creative Expression and Community Culture
- The Code, Internals, and Technical Deep Dives
- Add-ons and Ecosystem
- Translation, Localization, and Global Reach
- Loves, Hates, and Honest Reflections
- The Community and Culture
- Vision and Future
- Contribution, Training, and Learning
- Creative Vision and Legacy
