hi guys
I've been searching for a phone for my 90 yearold and then I though could it be possible to make a button for jolla that would enter phone in elder mode which would change starting screen into big buttons for example divide it into 6 slots. calling, text messages, people app, settings, silentmode/normal and option to change back to normal view for example. ofcourse its a bit high price ranged but at the moment there are only these normal buttoned phones with tiny buttons and small screens. maybe you can think this through better. coming to think this could be used also as a mode if someone wants to borrow your phobe for a call or text message so its easy to use if not familiar with touch screen phones, this might break the wall for some people to buy an touch screen since they think they are hard/impossible learn how to use them. but like said just an random idea up to think about.
good idea. but i doubt it will be picked up for soonish implementation. sounds more like an idea for a nice app. I could also see a mode like this to be usefull when mounted in a car.
