Technology should make the world more empathetic, and Be My Eyes isn't the only one:

🙋 Give out HandUp Gift Cards to homeless in your neighborhood, redeemable for essentials like toiletries, clothes, and housing.

👂 Ava makes any conversation accessible for deaf. The demo video is crazy impressive (and got 2k+ upvotes!).

🤖 Microsoft's Seeing AI is a talking camera for the blind.

Highlight

Literally dozens of AirPod-lovers are disenfranchised every day by the audio-jack elitists of the airline industry.

This nifty gadget plugs into audio jacks and connects to your AirPods, so you don't have to spend $5 for disposable wired headphones.

Grow your app with Setapp: revenue, users, & AI

You shipped the app. Now comes the part nobody warns you about.

Billing across dozens of countries. Licensing agreements. Tax compliance. Customer support for users you haven't met yet. And if your app does anything with AI, add provider management and infrastructure costs to the pile. None of that is why you started building — but all of it is now your problem.

Setapp is trying to take it off your plate.

You probably know Setapp as the subscription marketplace — one monthly price, hundreds of Mac apps. On May 21st, they turned toward developers. The pitch is simple: list your app, reach users who are already looking, and let Setapp handle the business layer.
