Blind business owner sells $1700 AI-powered accessibility tool built with Claude

A visually impaired business owner successfully developed and sold an accessibility solution for another blind entrepreneur, earning $1,700. The solution, built with the assistance of Claude, bypasses an inaccessible journal system by communicating directly with its API. This allowed the user to interact with the system using natural language queries, such as asking about upcoming appointments. The developer emphasized that while Claude can generate code and debug, achieving a truly effective user experience for screen readers requires significant domain knowledge in accessibility principles.
