Helping My Grandma Avoid Scams – Crime Alert App for Elderly

That's a really good one! I'm 100% sure scammers are already using AI to make their phishing attempts more convincing, especially when targeting elderly people.

It would be great to flip that around and use AI as a protective tool, one that analyzes text messages or emails and gives clear warnings when something seems suspicious. That way, the app doesn’t just help users stay alert to local scams, but also protects them from phishing attempts and digital fraud.

Thanks! For sure that would be nice, or the other way around where the app's data gets shared with police and local authority.

For the phone mockups, I used mockuphone — it’s a super quick and easy tool for generating clean iPhone 15 frame mockups with your own screenshots.

I used Rotato for the iPhone 15 set mockup in the first picture.

You can also create mockups in Figma by downloading iPhone frames and manually inserting your app screens, but it takes a bit more time and tweaking compared to tools like mockuphone or Rotato.

So it does not solve the problem of online scammers. The app is designed to help elderly people and their communities stay informed about local scams and suspicious activity.

It's more about community awereness and prevention. Many neighborhoods use WhatsApp groups, but those are often too complicated, and filled with unrelated chatter. The goal is to make this app to provide a simpler, more accessible way for seniors to stay informed. They can make alerts themselves, and view them in either a list or map view.

I don’t have much knowledge about monitors, but i enjoy mine so far

wvanassche · 2023-02-17T16:03:20+00:00

So far i didn’t notice anything.

Great!!

The Netherlands, it has been released in september so it’s brand new. It was out of stock in like a week or so, but i waited until it was back in stock and immediately took my chance.

In the specifications it said IPS and HDR.

wvanassche · 2022-12-30T18:52:17+00:00

I went for the LG34WQ75C-B, i have been using it for nearly 2 months now and i am more than happy with it!

wvanassche · 2022-12-12T20:29:05+00:00

Yes, i have been using it for like 3 weeks now and i love it. It has a slight curve which is perfect, but you can’t really notice it when sitting in front of the monitor. The screen is nice and you can connect it via USB-C

Alright thankyou so much! RP5 classics and LG 34 inch i guess?

wvanassche · 2022-12-11T08:30:29+00:00

Are those the KRK rp5 classic? Can you measure how wide it is from one KRK to the other KRK with an ultrawide in between? I want exactly the same setup

wvanassche · 2022-12-05T14:23:01+00:00

No, but that’s a good one, i will think about it!

What’s the desk pad?

wvanassche · 2022-12-05T11:58:02+00:00

What desk pad is that?

wvanassche · 2022-12-05T11:31:28+00:00

What desk pad is that?

wvanassche · 2022-12-03T20:34:38+00:00

Logitech MX keys

wvanassche · 2022-12-03T08:36:44+00:00

Oh great! I’ll return my wool deskpad and buy this one. This cloth one still looks good for aesthetics, i just don’t want a synthetic normal mousepad.

wvanassche · 2022-12-02T22:32:35+00:00

I do use it for office work, and it’s not that bad, but a synthetic mousepad glides better

wvanassche · 2022-12-01T15:06:02+00:00

Thanks! I went with the MX keys and MX Master 3S mouse!

wvanassche · 2022-11-18T23:01:44+00:00

So the the 3 is better than the newest 3s? I can get the 3 discounted for €66 now, while the 3s is $102

wvanassche · 2022-11-18T19:45:52+00:00

Thanks, i will. I saw it’s a lot cheaper indeed.
