[BlindMath] Seeking collaborators for a ground-up accessible mathematics workspace

[avery ingram]

Hello,

I'd love to collaborate on this. I've been thinking about vibe coding something like this by myself, so it would be amazing to work with you on the project. Thanks for working on such an important app. You can email me at

Best,

Avery

Hello,

I am beginning an open-source project called Omniya Core:
https://github.com/ParkingSoman/omniya-core

The goal is to create a mathematical workspace designed from the ground up
with blind mathematicians, blind STEM students, and screen-reader users,
rather than adapting an existing visual model afterward.

The long-term ambition is to explore what a unified mathematical workspace
could look like for blind mathematicians, one that supports the full range
of work sighted mathematicians do while providing equally effective ways to
read, write, organize, revise, and navigate mathematics.

The current desktop app is only an early prototype meant to make ideas
concrete and spark conversation. I am not asking the community to refine or
endorse its present design. I am more interested in understanding what such
a workspace should fundamentally support and which assumptions from visual
tools should be discarded.

Contributions of any kind are welcome, including lived experience,
criticism, technical work, testing, research, documentation, and
alternative design models. I am especially interested in connecting with
people who may want to contribute on an ongoing basis to the project’s
design vision as it develops. No programming experience is required.

Thank you,
Shonu Sengupta
