My co-founder and I have been working on products to improve the lives of seniors & make them less lonely for about a year now. After various ideas, we discovered that the biggest concern from most seniors when it came to activities, socializing, or otherwise getting out of the house was cost.
We also learned through meeting with seniors that they are far more online than people give them credit for.
Owly is at the MVP stage right now but we're building something that is somewhere between product hunt and Yelp to help seniors engage more by saving money.
I've got some known bugs but happy to hear complaints, critiques, and questions!
Thanks for the feedback on the design. That's definitely the area I have the least training on so I appreciate the comments.
For sure, my co-founder had me make some last minute text changes and I will be continuing to do so. I've also got a bit to learn about accessibility for this project as well.

As a matter of fact, all websites should.
PS: there are tools that allow you to test the compliance. A list can be found here https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tools/
Another idea is to have web push notifications to notify the visitors about new opportunities.
Excellent design, too, although larger type, larger savings indicators, and custom images instead of the emoji might be appreciated.
Filtering by savings type might also be helpful, e.g., “save on dinner,” “save on outings,” etc.
