USSD seems to be one of the forgotten technologies in terms of improvements despite the access it provides to mobile services for many communities in SSA. Glad to be hosting @bmlyon whose company Hover has built an SDK to improve the UX of USSD with rich interfaces.

Even if you're familiar with USSD, the experience on a screen reader is astoundingly bad. Check out the video.

The idea that carry-on security screening can't be trusted in Istanbul or Dubai but is fine in Dakar and Caracas looks frankly preposterous teapawt.net/yarotrof/status/844091…
