Image Describer is a Chrome Extension that uses AI to describe content in the browser for blind and low vision people. A person can get a description either through the content menu or with a keyboard shortcut. The description is announced back to the user, and is also available as text for review. The extension also supports a multi-turn interface to dig deeper into the image.I've seen a few...

Lot's of love for accessibility folks in education. Maybe a small consolation, but we just made AccessLint, our GitHub code review application free for edu's, inspired by this thread.

The gem uses an obscured API endpoint that feeds http://apps.coned.com/stormcenter_external/. ConEd's version of the app makes 2 ajax calls, one to an xml file that gets regenerated every 15 minutes and shows the timestamp of the report json feed. The second call gets the json that gets parsed in the app.

I've done a rudimentary version of jpetterson's at http://stormpox.com (much less pretty). I'm running a rake task that gets called via cron job. The rake task fetches and parses the feed (via the sandy gem) and posts it to a google spreadsheet via the google_drive API. stormpox.com is running as a static site on heroku with an embedded google timeline chart that auto-updates when the spreadsheet changes, and voila, insta-outage-chart (albeit google branded).

The code for the stormpox.com backend is at https://github.com/ckundo/coned_charts.

The sandy gem (previously the coned gem) is on rubygems and here: https://github.com/ckundo/sandy

Again great work jpetterson!

Perfect example of why to opensource your work; I never could have made this awesome design. Great work!
