You're right — in real life, most kids use tablets with thick protective cases. That photo was just a simplified demo.
Spanish is on our plan. Hope to add it soon!
You're also correct that third‑party apps can't fully lock a child inside the app — iOS doesn't allow that for security reasons. However, parents can use Guided Access (Settings → Accessibility → Guided Access). Once enabled, the device stays in one app and needs a passcode to exit. We recommend turning it on before handing the tablet to little ones.
The new link works. Anyway it's confusing to have the wrong link at the top. My suggestion is to forget about this post with the typo in the URL and go again to https://news.ycombinator.com/submit and just make a new post with the correct URL.
(I have two small children so I have a few questions and suggestions but I prefer to write them in the post with the correct URL in case someone else wants to discuss them. But don't expect me to buy the app. My wife is writing apps for our children, not so polished as yours, but they are customized for the reading level of our kids.)
