Good job on releasing your project to the public! Making FOSS because you are frustrated/horrified with permissions of the existing apps is something that I can truly relate to.
Sounds super cool! I'm out of that phase for the moment, but when my kid was little.i used Baby Daybook. Other than the obvious FOSS benefit any other big differences in your app to make myself and other parents use yours?
FOSS is a big plus, don't get me wrong, I'm just curious if you feel there are any special features in yours or gaps you havnt tackled yet.
The most beneficial feature I'm thinking you may be missing is letting two parent use the app for the same kid and have it stay in sync.
The sharing is there, we use it together with my partner, otherwise it wouldn't be that much useful. I would say the e2e encryption and privacy focus is the main difference, other than that it doesn't have any features other apps have and probably has less features than some paid apps. Another difference is that you can reach me personally, tell me your idea and if it makes sense, it will be there. Another great thing is that it's made with configurability in mind, you can tailor the app to your needs (for example, setting a gap between feedings for it to still be considered one feeding session, whether to calculate the time since feeding from the beginning or end of feeding, etc.)
Thanks again for reaching out before posting this and glad to hear you're open to any questions folks might have about this open-source project!
