I was exploring places to stay on AirBNB in Wales recently and found the process pretty arduous. This immediately addresses most of the issues I had and is well executed. Bookmarked it for future trips!
Something I wish AirBNB had was a way to manually draw a region on the map and to find all properties within that drawn boundary.
Or, instead of drawing a shape, the user could be presented with a map with appropriate boundary lines already drawn (county, state, country) and the user was able to multi-select the different areas they want to search by using a process similar to what the Shape-Builder tool in Adobe Illustrator employs.
I can't imagine how hard it is to keep positive in this situation and I think it's great that you're asking these practical questions to help your future self out. I hope you get some really useful answers from the rest of the community.
I don't have the answers to those questions but I did want to drop a line of encouragement and say this; your hard work up until now will not be wasted, whatever you end up doing. You can — and will — find ways to continue to stretch and apply your engineering mind, and most likely in ways that you can't predict right now.
Later on, you will look back and find that nobody would be better placed for whatever you're doing at that moment than you.
Finally (and I'm not saying this to deter you from continuing down the SE route, there are plenty of examples online of partially-sighted or blind SEs doing very well and you're attitude is indicative that you should experience no different), but everyone of us has so much more to give to this world than just our skillset, and you don't need a qualification for the things that truly matter in life.
Keep going and I echo the other commenter, take car of your soul, it's important.

Anyway, cool stuff!
