Contributing
This project needs a maintainer. I developed it as a student with support and encouragement from the partially-sighted crossword setter Eric Westbrook and my university. I would be happy to return the favour to anyone interested in picking it up. If you are interested then contact me.
I have some notes on the wiki for how to Blind Crossword 3D better. The issue tracker also contains plenty of proposals for improvements that were drafted out in collaboration with blind and partially-sighted users.
