My dad is partially sighted with poor motor control. He likes audiobooks but every player I tried had tiny buttons and too many screens.

I’ve now made this one. Two screens, big controls, high contrast.

When I want to send him a new book, I just text him a link — he taps it and the book appears in his library.

It always comes back to the last book he was playing, ready to play again.

The settings are configurable via a link too.

This is very much made for my exact specific needs with him, but it’s open source and free if it helps anyone else.

@gary_bbgames I am waiting that a manufacturer of TV sets integrates a "plain old TV " mode, offline and starting without any menue but just the last programme. And a remote access so that other persons can steer the TV set while the elderly person says via telephone what she wants. My mother is quite clear in her head but not for enough to understand a menue that is simply alien to her.
