Ask HN: Remote visual daily planning for people with ASD?
- viggoblum 1y agoHey, I’m in the early stages of exploring what might one day become a new product. Some years ago I built PictoPlan, a simple single-user app for daily visual planning. It had quite a bit of success, but I eventually discontinued it. The new idea is a system where caregivers, parents, or institutions could centrally (and remotely) create and update daily visual schedules using icons/pictograms. Updates would sync automatically across devices. The vision: imagine a nursing home or residential institution with tablets in each room. The schedule would visually remind residents to go to the bathroom, take medication, eat breakfast, etc. I know there’s a single-user need for this type of tool (based on my previous PictoPlan experience), but that market was nearly impossible to monetize. What about multi-user or institutional contexts? – Do you think such a system could be valuable? – What pitfalls should I expect? – Have you seen similar attempts work or fail? Any feedback or thoughts would be very welcome. (There’s no product yet — just exploring the idea)

- leakycap 1y agoIs "Family" misspelled as "Familiy" in the navigation across the entire site?
- viggoblum 1y agoAh dang - thank you so much!! <3 And yes, I use translation files, so it is site wide. :-)
- leakycap 1y agoGood deal - I was using voice to text and didn't check it closely when I posted, which is why it seemed like a question, but I'm glad you knew what I meant by my comment! I clicked around the site & liked the illustrations and idea but didn't actually figure out what I was supposed to do... is the current CTA to sign up for the newsletter?
