Feedback

Hey guys, nice to get to know you. Can you give me some feedback on my artproject?

I have an idea for a comic called organge cat or gorfelds. Its about a housecat that has the power to make people forget about alzheimers. He has a owner called Sjon and together they forget a bunch but also have crazy adventures. How do you guys think about this idea? I already had this idea in 1987 but since then i forget about it.

My wife Alexa and my grandson said it was time to do something about it but again I forgot. I think i have some kind of dementia but I forgot the name. Alexa helps me a lot with making the ideas tot reallife drawings but im interested to see what other people think about in now in 1990.

This is my first idea, a cat, nothing out of the ordinary and a fire, a wildfire in sockdrawer. It's so funny I can hardly contain myself. My grandson is next to me also laughing because wow a wildfire in a sockdrawer!!@ that is not something ordinary.

I forgot what I wanted to say, enjoy and call Angela.

Sheets changed, You have defeated the biome and lived to tell the tale.

Caregiving can be completely exhausting sometimes

I use my app to track everything and I've added a feature where an encouraging message would pop up right after I finish logging a task.

I have been tweaking it to add a little humor to the day just to make the care givers smile a bit and I wanted to see what you can add.

For for example after helping my LO in a bathroom trip it would say Code Brown logged You deserve a superhero cape but a strong coffee will have to do.

After checking vitals Vitals checked Your blood pressure remains the only thing in crisis

For making the bed Sheets changed You have defeated the biome and lived to tell the tale

What is a funny realistic messages you would actually want to see pop up on the screen after surviving a tough caregiving moment?

Witty messages will get you the app for free; if interested, but let's get the humor exactly right first!

Thanks

Father-in-law in early stages

About 3 years ago my Father-in-law fell and hit his head. This caused a brain bleed which led to a couple of small strokes. So he now lives with us and his daughter (my wife) is now his full time caregiver.

He is now 87 years old and is showing signs of Dementia. They have started him on a medication that is supposed to help slow the process but we are not sure if it's really helping or not. Some days he is fine, meaning normal conversations and can remember most things. Then there are other days he can't remember talking about something or going to a family cookout the previous weekend.

I am in IT so I am his go to for everything on his computer, tablet and phone. I have been married to his daughter for almost 35 years now so I have educated him over the years to recognize most scam emails or texts but every once in a while he will bring me his phone and ask me if something is real or not which I don't mind because I can stop anything bad happening beforehand. But there are times where he just clicks on things and the next thing you know the phone is going crazy and then he brings it to me in a panic trying to make it stop.

Things are starting to happen more often so I decide to create an App for Android that becomes the Phones main screen or as Android calls it, the Launcher. I have seen others and thought they were good but I wanted something that was more customizable and could be modified as his conditions change. I may have made too many options, but he asked for things as well so I do have a real word tester that is helping me make this app.

You can leave it pretty much wide open so they can still get to things while still protecting them as much as we can or you can remove access to only apps you want them to access and remove any and all notifications to help remove the noise that a lot of apps cause.

Please give it a shot and let me know what you think. This is an Android only app. iPhone has their own built in mode called Assistive Mode.

If you have any questions or suggestions to make it better, please let me know.
