According to Storm Dragon, there is now a version available for the Pi 3:
The original Pi3 image has been released. Because of the very limited
resources available to the Pi3, we use the LXDE desktop. It does not have the
polished accessibility of more developed desktops like Mate, however, there
is an accessible desktop and menu system. All images and their sha1sums may
be downloaded from:

I think I read you can use a usb thumb drive too. But for me I prefer the
micro sd cards. As long as your really careful with them you don't lose them.
The 3B+ and 4B support booting from USB, but there are some gotchas:
- There can't be a bootable OS on the SD card.
- Whichever USB storage device responds first wins.
- Not every OS is set up to take advantage of this.
- Not every USB flash drive works properly.
That said, this approach can have some great advantages. Aside from the fact
that the USB fobs are larger and harder to lose, they can have tags added to
make them identifiable. As a sighted user, I use paperboard tags that I can
write on; I also made up some tags with braille labels for a blind friend to
use.
