App for your mom

I see my mom struggle with boredom everyday and is on Facebook just browsing through the same old posts. I want to build an app for Indian women , especially homemakers . A safe place where they can talk amongst each other. What do you think of this ? Would be willing to pay 200/month towards membership fee ?

My mum - Watch yt for food recipes ❌ Watch yt for exercise and yoga❌ Read news on Google ❌ Mindless scroll fb stories ✅ I fucking hate it. Facebook has done to our parents what they said watching too much TV would do to us when we were kids. Not to mention all the fake and polarising posts on fb.

I tried doing something but I found many old-age people don't find anything entertaining other than YouTube. Any other kind of content doesn't create a hook. Majority of them don't have the zeal to learn anything new. They just want to do something effortlessly and entertain themselves. YouTube best solves their purpose.

For them it's a TV but in their hands

Yup...for old age people...it's a must need.

Same holds true for teens which Snapchat is exploiting.

Algorithm should be different for age groups unlike meta and Google

We don't have a cable network, hence mom watches serials on Zee5 and Hotstat. Recently Zee5 moved two of mom's favorite serials to premium category, so you need to pay 700/yr to watch it.

Mom stopped watching those and started watching a new one 👍

They won't spend any extra money.
