<p>3mpwrApp did not begin as a product idea. It began as a response to a crisis. A community member - navigating a workplace injury claim, fighting an insurer with more resources than she had - needed tools that did not exist. So we built them.
What she needed was a way to keep evidence organized and encrypted. A way to write letters that demonstrated she knew her rights. A way to find support resources at 2 AM when the anxiety was worst. She needed 3mpwrApp, so 3mpwrApp exists.
The “3mpwr” in the name is intentional. Not the hollow empowerment that asks disabled people to simply try harder in an unjust system. Collective empowerment. Power through documentation, through community, through having tools that match the tools being used against you.
—</p>
<h2 id="the-principles">The Principles</h2>
<ul>
  <li>Born from direct experience with the failure of disability support systems in Canada</li>
  <li>Built in response to the systematic silencing of injured workers by insurers and employers</li>
  <li>Designed by community members who were themselves navigating the exact systems the app addresses</li>
  <li>The name “3mpwr” reflects collective power - empowerment through tools, technology, and solidarity</li>
  <li>
    <h2 id="community-advisory-process-shapes-every-major-feature-decision-to-this-day">Community advisory process shapes every major feature decision to this day</h2>
    <h2 id="in-action">In Action</h2>
  </li>
  <li>The Evidence Locker exists because documentation is the primary tool injured workers lack</li>
  <li>The Letter Generator exists because legal language is used as a deliberate barrier</li>
  <li>
    <h2 id="simple-mode-exists-because-the-community-said-directly-im-too-sick-to-navigate-this-app-on-hard-days">Simple Mode exists because the community said directly: “I’m too sick to navigate this app on hard days”</h2>
    <h2 id="why-it-matters">Why It Matters</h2>
  </li>
  <li>Tools built by the community look fundamentally different from tools built about it</li>
  <li>Our origin story is a statement of accountability to the people we serve</li>
  <li>
    <h2 id="every-feature-is-a-response-to-a-real-named-barrier-that-real-people-told-us-they-face">Every feature is a response to a real, named barrier that real people told us they face</h2>
    <h2 id="join-the-community">Join the Community</h2>

<p><em>A behind-the-scenes look at how we build 3mpwrApp.</em>
—
When we started 3mpwrApp, we had a hard constraint: the framework had to support real, deep accessibility - VoiceOver, TalkBack, Switch Access, and the full spectrum of assistive technology - from day one, not as an afterthought.
React Native was the answer because it exposes the native accessibility APIs of both iOS and Android directly. A web-based hybrid approach would have meant fighting the underlying layer. React Native meant working with it.
The Expo ecosystem accelerated this enormously. Expo Router’s file-based navigation is inherently screen-reader-transparent. The community has deep accessibility expertise. We didn’t have to build the foundations - we stood on good ones.
—</p>
<h2 id="technical-details">Technical Details</h2>
<ul>
  <li>React Native exposes native VoiceOver, TalkBack, and Switch Access APIs directly</li>
  <li>One codebase for iOS, Android, and web prevents accessibility quality divergence</li>
  <li>Expo Router’s file-based navigation is transparent to screen readers by design</li>
  <li>React Native’s animation system supports reduced motion preferences natively</li>
  <li>
    <h2 id="expos-a11y-linting-caught-issues-before-any-human-tester-saw-them">Expo’s a11y linting caught issues before any human tester saw them</h2>
    <h2 id="in-practice">In Practice</h2>
  </li>
  <li>VoiceOver and TalkBack integration required native API access that web-only frameworks couldn’t provide</li>
  <li>Switch Access compatibility was built in from day one using React Native’s focus management APIs</li>
  <li>

    <h2 id="what-we-learned">What We Learned</h2>
  </li>
  <li>Framework choice is an accessibility decision, not just a technical preference</li>
  <li>Building cross-platform from the start prevents future divergence in accessibility quality</li>
