Show HN: I made an ad-free game collection for my grandparents

https://stiuvou.ch/grandpagames/
1•nahakiole•1h ago
Hi, living with my grandparents who are not able to go out anymore and spend a lot of time on their phone I became frustrated with the available games on the app store. Many of them had annoying ads and were not elderly friendly.

I started to vibe code a game collection in flutter and tested them with my grandma and friends. It was kind of fun only having to do the ux part and watching people use the apps and then write down what I'd change to make the app easier and have codex implement it.

I've started back in January and now published a version I am kind of happy with, where I'd like to have more eyes on to get more feedback.

https://stiuvou.ch/grandpagames/

The app is free to download. You can try all games and then pick 3 to keep at the start and unlock more by earning points through playing. There are optional point packs you can buy to unlock games faster, but it's not necessary and there are no ads at all or analytics.

If you use the code ALLGAMESJUNE14, you can unlock all games from the start until June 14.

I’d love feedback on the games, the ux and ideas for new games.

One thing I keep thinking about is that the coding itself was not really the hard part anymore. My time mostly went into watching people use the app, finding out what is confusing for them and telling those points codex.

I even had a TestFlight feedback pipeline where Codex could read screenshots/bug reports via the apple api and fix them automatically.

So I’m also curious if AI lead to better, cheaper apps, or just flood the app stores? And if apps become cheaper to build, should we see fewer subscriptions (Which I really dislike) and more fair one-time-purchase models?
