Robin Kanatzar, App accessibility speaker and developer

Robin Kanatzar is this episode’s guest. Robin is a former industrial engineer who has been developing apps for iOS and Android since 2016, focusing on accessibility. She also gives talks on the subject, educating developers on how to make their apps more accessible, as well as publishing a weekly newsletter on the subject, titled ‘Appt News’.

First, Last, Everything is a podcast exploring people’s personal relationships with technology. In each episode, host Jonathan Reed gets to know a guest through three pieces of tech: their first inspiration, their last obsession, and the one that meant everything to them. From some software or a computer to a weird gadget or a first camera. Pretty much anything goes.

In addition, each episode features the ‘Something’ segment, a small dive into the past to talk about a piece of technology that you may not have heard of. Weird, ahead of its time, an abject failure or success, whatever it was, it was certainly… something.
