Diary of a Blind American

Bryan Gruver

I'm Bryan Gruver — a blind iOS developer, writer, and podcaster in upstate South Carolina by way of South Florida. I've survived three strokes and built most of what you see here from an iPhone using VoiceOver.

Diary of a Blind American is where I write honestly about blindness, family, loss, politics, and building a life with AI as my coding partner.
