First meeting
The initiation call covered the history of the project. Dasher has been around for 25 years now, with work done on it by multiple teams. The last UX sprint revealed 3 code areas to work on Onboarding The application can be used in different ways by users with different kinds of disabilities. There needs to be a seamless onbparding wizard that sets it up for them. Challenges here arre that there is a huge amount of inputs (head control, joysticks, eye tracking, etc) that could be used. Settings The tool has hundreds of customisable settings. The experience for a user configuring dasher to their exact need needs to be simplified. Training There is a gameplay mode which shows how dasher works. Needs iteration on this as well, this scope would be closer to code and allow for iteration on the typing experience as well. A strict limit expressed was that we cannot do much to the existing application code, the typing engine, the main product. Scopes I am interested in Onboarding Vibe coding on the web version Exploring a hindi/Indian scripts version Design system Design system would be a scope I introduce, the application spans across a lot of platforms and needs a design system with UX. patterns for disabilities baked in.
