THIS.

This morning I left my daughter at home until noon. Not knowing how to stay in touch with her 'just run case', I tried to set up a Google Meet that I could join at work to see what she was up to.

Cue 15 minutes of:

- trying to create a meet without an account => fail.

- use my account to create a meet, take link, pull it up on daughter's computer.

- need to create account for daughter on Google so that she can join.

- creation of children account requires me to login because children not >18.

- create family with my account.

- back to creating account for child.

- strong password entered.

- google requires a payment setup, picks up my credit card (??) from my account to add to daughter's account.

- cannot dismiss payment option, stuck there..

Then I thought about Discord:

- Go to Discordapp.com

- Click on "open app", enter chilren first name, server is created

- copy paste link to my computer and go to children server

- Done

This is just fantastic. I just abhor the user story on anything else now, this is just so easy, and solves so many issues.
