Ideas

Here’s a place to post about your undeveloped ideas – perhaps somebody else will pick them up and develop them further!

A few general ideas

There are some things that come up often with ability hacks – making small things less fiddly, making short things longer, making slippery things grippable. These are some overall suggestions about doing these types of things. Please leave your own suggestions in the comments on this page so others can benefit also.

Keeping things within reach

  • Attach it with self-ahdesive or sew-on velcro
  • Hang it on a cup-hook or self-adhesive hook on a nearby surface
  • Attach a handle to it
  • Tie a loop of string/cord/elastic around it to make a handle
  • Sit it on some non-stick surface
