Thanks, I'll check it out.

In order to really reach people with vision issues, it seems like places like Bank of America (just an example) need to do a good job of Alexa skills. Dunno how you deal with security.

As a side note, it's funny how absurd online banking websites are. It's a thing that would be well served by simple/secure pure text interfaces but that certainly isn't what you get.

The amount of cruft on the web just blows me away, whether it's a weather or real estate or recipe site. We're living in a world of shit.



Having worked for and with a few different large companies, my experience has been that multi-national banks are the most pathologically "not a single entity". They have all sorts of factions within often working directly against the interests of each other, with large projects kept secret purely for _internal_ competitive advantage. With that model, the resulting mangled mess they present as an interface makes significantly more sense.


Treat the crappy site as an API and make a better interface. Like the SimpleWeb project: https://simple-web.metalune.xyz/
