Hi I love OpenWrt. Firmware for routers is full of holes. OpenWrt lets me know what is running on my router and what it&#x27;s doing. There is one more thing and that is I am blind and a lot of stock software on routers just is not made to work with screen readers. With OpenWrt they care about a11y and if there has ever bin any thing that breaks a11y it has bin fixt in a matter of days. I have never bin made to feel like I am bing a pane in the ass for asking for a change to the webinterface to help me use it. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;openwrt.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;openwrt.org&#x2F;</a> The other project I could not be with out is the one that makes my screen reader called NVDA. With out it I simply could not use my computer. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nvaccess.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nvaccess.org&#x2F;</a>
