Ask HN: An Android build/skin specifically created for Almost Blind People?
I have an 82 year old friend who I help and care for. She has about 10% of her sight left and she uses and needs her phone on a daily basis.
She particularly needs Whatsapp.
I am having a lot of difficulty finding and installing apps with very large clear fonts, in a way where the operating system doesn't keep having overlays or changing things and keeps getting stuck using her phone?
What are the best options?
Depending on what your friend uses her phone for, one of these might be a decent option:

Doesn't Android have a lot of accessibility options built in? I know Material Design certainly does, but many apps don't use it. Maybe use it in a similar manner to fully blind people.
