Comment on Show HN: An app for your older relatives, helping them find the right cablesparent

"I noticed it doesn't know about phones that have USB-C chargers."

Allthough I find the base concept of the side promising (not only for older relatives), it would be much more helpful if you add more connection types. Some examples:

- "Computer --> TV" only knows HDMI and VGA (E.g. what about [mini] Display Port?) - "Computer --> Printer" only knows USB A to USB B

I would start with the most common possibility and go down to the more exotic ones, to not clutter the expirience for most people. Then you could even add more special connections where you need adapters for.
