I made a thing called Wellness Ping because someone I care about went silent and it took too long for anyone to notice.

You get regular check-ins via email. If you don't respond, your emergency contacts get notified.

With our children now nearly 17 and 20, my wife's just told me of a #christmashack she's often thought of - but never told me, or acted in it (because she always thinks of it at the time, and never before).

If your child puts an empty stocking out awaiting Santa to fill it with (little) gifts […]
