Access Hub: A new multifunctional app designed with accessibility in mind
Wróć do Computers and Technology#1 diamondStar
Hello guys.
Please check out my first python app: Access hub. It's a multifunctional application designed with accessibility in mind that aims to include the most useful tools in one place, Without having to install lots of apps just for your daily tasks.
Although it's small and has limited functions right now, I have plans to expand this in the future.
It's a closed source, However: It's completely free, And will remain free, Though donations are appreciated.
Download link, From GitHub:

But wait, except that this is a collection of some accessible applications, we don't know anything more about it. Can you say more?

Wow, from the readme this seems not bad and actually like something this could be useful. I will try it out.
#4 Jonathan Konto zarchiwizowane
Check out the GH, the readme is nice.

Sorry, But i'm really not good at writing, But yeah, check the readme. I've spent a lot of time trying to write it myself, Because no AI tool would write that readme for me, lol.

Ok, so I don't like that it minimices to tray instead of closing once I press alt+f4, at least thaht should be configurable. For a first release that's definitly not bad. I'm not a big fan of these generic wx python UI's with their buttons just randomly thrown on 1 page, but yeah.
The speech recognission is a cool idea, and I'd like to see this beeing advanced fourther, though I admit it got me wrong pretty often so no idea if thhat's google or something else but yes.
Acceptable so far, defenitly keep it up!

It's well written imo. Better than some AI overdoing the entire thing. :D

Wow, it looks a bit like one thing, also in Python, only strings are in Polish. Just in case, I toss the link :D:

Maybe it will be useful to you for something :D

Thank you for your suggestion. Regarding minimizing to tray: This is because of the speech recognition to be able to use it in background, But yeah, I'll add settings for many tools in the future, Don't worry.
Regarding buttons: Until now i haven't thought of a good style other than this for putting these collection of tools.

And yeah, That's google. I'll add more services in the future whenever i could test them, Since most services require an API key, so.

First of all, please keep up the amazing work. However I have a few concerns to adress previously not or lagging named.
1. Why not open source?
Could you provide more reasons to this? From my viewpoint it would bring you more open source it, to support learning or ongoing developers but also to receive pull requests to perhaps fix or add something. I understand that it is your work that you personally made, but wouldn't it be an achievement to show others that you are proud and not ashamed to share your code? The most software blind people can use are closed source which is very unfortonate.
One of the many advantage would be that you earn more trust and more users, since people exactly know what they use and can check out the code at any time.
By the way, you even can release your program without a lizense so people are not allowed to modify something at their own, or you can choose a lizense so people have to always open source their new forks. See:
https://choosealicense.com/
A statement would be somewhat awesome, and feel free to pm me if you have any questions regarding that matter.
2. The UI
As a developer, it is important to indicate that you received feedback and improve your programs or games thus. Currently the UI consists out of several buttons opening new windows for sub menus and submenus contain buttons buttons to new windows again. Could it be changed so we have tab panels, or it at least does not look so chlunky anymore? Also, it would be an advantage if all UI would be just one window and we just can press escape to go back one level.
Thanks in advance!

This is awesome, keep up the good work! :) Is it possible to support you in any way?

Hello.
Thanks for your suggestions. First: regarding open source: I have released several open source products before, But I haven't noticed interest or encourage to continue these projects. Thus I have made this as a closed source.
Regarding the UI: The app itself is a multifunctional app, I have designed the UI so to always leave the main window open when you choose something to allow you to perform other tasks at the same time. For example: Imagine you're listening to a youtube video, And using eleven labs to generate some sounds at the same time? Or using an SSH terminal?
Also regarding tabs: It's not possible to add tabs, While it's possible to change the UI design, tab design is not possible because some tools has sub tools, and tabs wouldn't work for this. Honestly i don't prefer tabs either.

However, on the other hand if you see not people enkoraging this does not mean there are none. Just because someone has no contributing interests at a particular repository this does not mean this can be applied to the other since these both things are two completely different. Unfortonately this is the mistake of the most developers, they theoritically have nothing preventing them to do something, but it fails because they think there would be a lag of interest even though this could not be predicted.

In what language is this written? If python or C#, I might be able to get you a contributor. It won't be me, but a friend who wants to practice his skills and is always interested in taking part in projects.

Because what's the point of making something open sourceand no one cares about the code? Really.
