For folks interested in technology that helps to keep our less-technological relatives connected, I highly recommend NanaGram[0].
I’ve been a paid user since the early days and it’s an absolute delight to my grandmother every single time it shows up during the month.
1. Register and get a unique phone number to text
2. Start sending photos to that number via SMS
3. Share the phone number with other relatives and tell them to do the same
4. Grandparent gets envelope of printed photos just like the ones filling their old albums on the shelves
It really is that easy. It’s affordable. And the founder is very responsive to any support inquiries.
It was a service I always wanted to build myself but never had the time. I’m very grateful for it.

- aacook 5y agoNanaGram founder here. (I use F5bot to get alerts of mentions.) Saw Yayagram the other day and love it! My grandma was a telephone operator for decades and would have been over-the-moon using Yayagram. This is a truly underserved space. The elderly lead increasingly isolated lives and products that increase social connections improve quality of life and make people smile! Thanks for the NanaGram shout-out. I'm grateful for your gratefulness and to be able to work on NanaGram. Happy to answer any question anyone has.
