Merge Conflict is a weekly discussion with Frank and James on all things development, technology, & more. After years of being friends, Frank and James finally decided to sit down and start a podcast about their lives as mobile developers using C#, Xamarin, and .NET MAUI. Much more than just another mobile development podcast, Merge Conflict, reaches all areas of development including desktop, server, and of course mobile. They also cover fun things happening in the world of technology and gaming and whatever else happens to be on Frank's and James' minds.

Merge Conflict 99: Inclusive App Design & Seeing AI with Saqib Shaikh
We got to sit down with the legendary Saqib Shaikh to talk about creating inclusive software for everyone. As a blind person Saqib not only has first person experience with using software that is accessible, but also designing and working on inclusive software as he is the Team Lead for the Seeing AI mobile application. During our chat we discuss what developers can do inside of their application to add accessibility features and how they can test them using the built in operating systems. Saqib also shared insights into how Seeing AI was created and where it is going next.
