  "textContent": "Hello everyone,\n\nI've developed a **native TeamTalk client for macOS** that's fully accessible with VoiceOver. As you know, the official TeamTalk version on Mac is completely inaccessible, so I built an alternative from scratch.\n\n## What's included:\n\n  * **Full keyboard navigation** — Cmd+1/2/3/4 for UI areas, F5 for nickname, F6 for status, etc.\n  * **VoiceOver announcements** for all events (users joining/leaving, private messages, file transfers)\n  * **Native macOS interface** (no ugly web wrapper)\n  * **Saved server management** with quick access\n  * **Browse and join channels** with optional password protection\n  * **Private messaging** with full conversation history\n  * **File sharing** with visual progress indicators\n  * **User administration** (for server admins)\n  * **Advanced microphone settings:**\n    * Enable/disable audio processing\n    * Noise suppression (Noise Gate) or Expander with fine-tuned controls over threshold, attack, hold, and release\n    * Peak limiter with auto or manual mode\n    * Multiple presets for different use cases\n    * Professional-grade tools to eliminate feedback and control voice peaks\n\n\n\n## Current state:\n\nThe app is functional and ready to use. The interface is clean, accessible _and_ looks good — because using VoiceOver doesn't mean the UI has to be ugly.\n\n## Important:\n\nThe app is **unsigned** (no budget for Apple Developer Program yet). You'll need to authorize it in macOS security settings.\n\n## Interested?\n\nIf anyone wants to test, I can set up a beta distribution system. Your feedback on features, keyboard shortcuts, or missing functionality is welcome!",
