       Ask HN: Elderly Friendly Photo Printing Sites?
        
       Hey, just a shot in the dark, but does anyone know of any good
       photo product sites, like Shutterfly, that have user interfaces
       that are elderly friendly?  My mother likes to get cards and other
       things using her photos, but she is continually having horrible
       experiences with the sites she's tried. And every time I go to
       help, I find UI's that are just not well designed. Sometimes I have
       to switch her over to Chrome, other times nothing makes it better.
       Today, Walmart's site wouldn't even let me try to log her into her
       account in Chrome, just kept showing me "are you human" pages. And
       in Firefox, their photo app is clearly not working very well. The
       preview for the Christmas card was tiny until I switched her system
       font size from 150% to 100% scaling. Then it got bigger. And
       Firefox console was full of security warnings.  Shutterfly is not
       very good either, she consistently has to redo entire projects
       (that take her hours to put together) before it works, and it's hit
       or miss on if it works in Firefox or Chrome.  Are there any photo
       printing services out there that have UIs that: A) Work. B) Were
       designed with the elderly in mind?  Thanks!

       | If she has a Mac, she can print them straight from the macOS
       | Photos app: https://support.apple.com/guide/photos/order-
       | professional-pr... (but not from an iPhone, apparently)
       | 
       | If she uses Google Photos, she can print it right from the web
       | interface (just select a few photos or albums and click the order
       | prints icon) and she can checkout straight from there and have it
       | shipped to her house. It's also available from the Google Photos
       | app right on an Android phone.
       | 
       | If she's not using anything like that already, it might be a lot
       | harder :( Maybe she can just make shared albums to send to you,
       | and you can order prints for her?
