Great idea, bookmarked! One thing I would improve: a new map has 6 items and it took me a while to figure out how to remove them - there's something about the initial list UX that makes it unintuitive.

Solo hobbyist, need tips on promoting a niche product!

Hi there! Years ago I have started working on an audiobook player for elderly (85+), visually impaired users. It was born of real need. Over time it gathered a small number of happy users. However, I've always struggled with promotion: It's a niche product, any promotion should try to reach family members and caregivers.

That's a very nice tool! I'm adding it to my toolbox :) If I may suggest one additional feature: sometimes it would be useful to select JSON text on a website, right click and open the selection with the extension.

Hello Hunters! I'm happy to bring to your attention an audiobook player for the elderly. I made it for my grandmother who cannot read any more. And now you can take this app, get a cheap Android tablet and build a super-easy-to-use audiobook player for the visually impaired senior in your family. Key highlights: - simplicity over features - it has just the essentials, - reads book titles aloud...

Homer Player is an audiobook player for the elderly. Its simple interface is aimed at people with low vision who find regular MP3 players complex and unusable.

It is an Android app but it allows you to convert the whole device into a dedicated, single purpose, easy to use audiobook player.
