Hi everyone,
I'm a totally blind learner in Adelaide, South Australia, looking for some help with an accessibility problem involving FreeCodeCamp and GitHub Codespaces.
I'm working through the FreeCodeCamp Certified Full Stack Developer curriculum and am currently blocked at the setup stage of its online database workshop,
which uses the rdb-alpha repository.
I've followed the instructions and tried troubleshooting the problem myself. However, when setting up the required token, the repository-selection screen
reports that the repository is unavailable, and the expected submit button doesn't appear when using JAWS, my Windows screen reader.
The repository belongs to FreeCodeCamp, and I'm accessing it as a user. I need help determining what's happening with the repository selection and token
setup.
I've already contacted Microsoft Disability Answer Desk, but unfortunately, its staff weren't familiar with FreeCodeCamp, GitHub and Codespaces. I've also
contacted people in the FreeCodeCamp community and am waiting for a response.
I'm hoping to find someone in Australia, preferably in Adelaide or a nearby time zone, who has experience with GitHub repositories and Codespaces and would
be willing to help remotely using Windows Quick Assist on my Windows 11 laptop.
I'm not asking anyone to complete my coursework. I simply need help getting past this technical and accessibility barrier so I can continue learning independently.
If anyone has relevant experience or can recommend a developer or community that offers this kind of assistance, I'd be very grateful.
Thank you for reading.
