Merge Conflict 99: Inclusive App Design & Seeing AI with Saqib Shaikh

We got to sit down with the legendary Saqib Shaikh to talk about creating inclusive software for everyone. As a blind person Saqib not only has first person experience with using software that is accessible, but also designing and working on inclusive software as he is the Team Lead for the Seeing AI mobile application. During our chat we discuss what developers can do inside of their application to add accessibility features and how they can test them using the built in operating systems. Saqib also shared insights into how Seeing AI was created and where it is going next.
