Show HN: Teach Your Parents Smartphone (teach-your-parents-smartphone.com)
5 points by pankajtanwar 440 days ago
My parents got super confused when PhonePe (payment app in India) updated their app overnight. They immediately blamed me for "breaking their phone" lol. I had to spend an hour showing them how to use the new design.

Same thing happened with WhatsApp video calls. I realized this is a common problem - we teach our parents tech stuff once, but they forget because they don't practice enough.

So I made this tool that lets my parents practice using apps through step-by-step tutorials at their own pace. No one rushing them, no one judging.

The goal? Help my parents feel more confident with technology and give them a safe space to practice without feeling stupid for asking the same questions over and over.
