Building ScamDrill — phishing-simulation training for families, not just
companies. Safe, opt-in fake scams sent to parents, grandparents, and teens
over email and SMS, with a friendly debrief when they click. Same drill model
corporate security teams use, pointed at the people who actually lose the most.
Nice! I tried the web version and it was pretty quick and easy to get started.
What is your tech stack? Can you share a little more on how you are developing the iOS and google-play apps? What's been your experience on the app store? Did you run into any challenges/roadblocks?
On your questions. I'm doing this solo. I'm on a Vercel paid plan, so costs are reasonable (for now) but I've really only shown this to family and friends at this point, so the userbase is tiny.
I have a few family members and friends who are healthcare providers (including those with MD attached to their name) who have provided a lot of guidance. Our friend and family network also includes several with kids and adults on the spectrum, and we have sought out their advice/feedback. But as you surmised, I did rely on AI, specifically for generating all of the media (images/video clips) to fit various scenarios.
On whether the exercises are helpful -- that's exactly the type of data I would love to get, but the site is quite new. If you have ideas on how I can determine that I'd welcome it.
This was definitely a challenge until I figured out how it works. I originally was confused by the connections and started off embarrassingly slow, but once I got a few words and letters started to disappear, I was able to power through it pretty quickly. A solid game. Suggest adding a timed option so users can brag/compare/share their time.
Really cool and I love educational apps like this. One suggestion is to show the rotation of the earth as the particles come together to form it rather than a static image.
