I don't think anyone on Mastodon needs to hear the obvious criticism of this "Accessible Hygiene Helper" app (which I'm certain is 100% private and totally not streaming your camera feed to a server somewhere). But my favourite part about the AppleVis post is this line:
> I noticed that for visually impaired individuals, independently confirming personal cleanliness after using the restroom can be a frustrating and undignified challenge.
And in a reply to a comment rightfully asking how on earth they came to this conclusion, the developer says:
> Why did I build this? Because behind closed doors, many blind individuals face the hidden anxiety of not knowing if they are clean, and asking a family member for help feels undignified.
"Many blind people", you say? Where are these people? Can the real blind testers please stand up? (After they're done wiping, of course.) Because it seems like you saw one of the many repeat posts of this question on AskReddit, and instead of reading the comments or spending a moment to use your brain, you told Claude to materialize the answer in the form of a $4.99/month website. And now you're deep in sunk cost land and every time someone posts another criticism along the lines of "No-one asked for this", you tell yourself "Surely the next comment will be a thank you? Surely someone will sign up soon? Then I can afford my own toilet paper!"
Anyway, this is a weird timeline. I'd like to switch back to one of the ones where this app doesn't exist.
