This absolutely counts. This is such a great testament to how simple engineering and thoughtful design can do good in the world. You're a good son!
Is there a reason besides preventing commercial use that you don't just have a PDF link on your site?
I tailor them upon request. I would like to make a self-serve site, but don't have the time or skills. I would prefer to give this away, people are usually in their worst moments, so a little generosity makes me feel like I make the world a better place.
Actually, I think I just forgot to put the newer, generic version up on the site for download. Good thinking!
Thanks for designing and publishing your work! I was surprised too, that there is nothing similar when I was at a stroke unit for a relative.
I wish you all the best for your mother. Keep caring for her, before caring for the website.
Your website is covered in "contact me", but I see no contact information, and your HN profile is similarly anonymous. Sorry, I couldn't figure it out.
I don't know what skills you lack, but if they're web development skills, and if you want some help with your wonderful project, my email is in my profile. I cannot, alas, do anything about your insufficient-time problem.
Huh. You are right. I think stress and grief caused me to overlook the obvious; - post a 'contact us' if you want people to contact you, and - post a downloadable PDF if you want people to use it.
I guess this is why doctors don't treat loved ones. I was doing outreach, it never occurred to me to go back and check my site with fresh eyes. I wonder how many people I missed helping.
