Goodnight Zoom - Storytime between your child and an isolated senior.

While we've all been isolated, my grandparents have started to read stories to my younger cousins via videochat, which has been a great way for my grandparents to feel connected and loved. It's also nice for my cousins (4-7 years old) to interact with their grandparents, even if from afar. Many of our seniors are especially isolated right now, so I thought it would be nice to connect them to kids all across the US for a remote storytime. We've started talking with various nursing homes and linking them up with young families to get a regular remote interaction going. Would love to hear your feedback!

This is the most heartwarming idea I have ever seen ! I This is such a uniting platform - in current times more that ever

Great idea :) love products tackling inter generational connectivity + loneliness. Could also be reversed! I'm sure there are some isolated seniors that would love to be read to by younger folks 🥺.

Great Idea Charlie!

Nice idea - maybe link up with age concern ( https://www.ageuk.org.uk/ ) in the UK?

wholesome product of the day!

I don't have kids but I love the idea!

Love the name 😊

Great Idea - Would be awesome to see implementation of a digital book & library so both parties could read along together. Promoting reading comprehension and assisting in keeping the attention of kids with pictures to follow-along when applicable.

Amazing idea!

This is so cute - I love this.

Sweet :)

Absolutely love this idea!

I have a website for kids books called MagicBlox.com. Let me know if we should talk about reading from our library.

very clean product. thank you for making it. what tech stack did you use ?

Thanks everyone for voting for us in the Maker Festival, we are so honored and excited!! We're quickly building out the platform (adding more timeslots to schedule stories, the ability to add favorite books, and automating much of the scheduling), so big updates are coming. A reminder that anyone at any age is welcome to sign up, and please share with any isolated seniors that you know :) Thanks again!

Have you had any problems with the older adults connecting to video chats?
