Small, useful things โ€” built with love, dedicated to Evelyn ๐Ÿ’š

I'm Jorge Maravilla โ€” an information security professional by day and a builder of small, friendly software by night. This site is home to ChillBrain, the relaxing brain game I made for my 70-year-old mother and her friends, and a growing library of honest, practical guides about keeping older minds engaged and making technology kinder to the people who didn't grow up with it.

Why this site exists

When my mother turned seventy I went looking for a puzzle game she'd genuinely enjoy: big tiles her fingers could hit, no timers rushing her, no ads ambushing her mid-move, nothing punishing her for thinking slowly. It didn't exist โ€” so I built it. Along the way I learned an enormous amount about how older adults actually use screens, what the research honestly says about "brain training," and how much of the software world quietly excludes people over sixty. The guides here are everything I wish someone had handed me at the start.
