You'd get addicted to short stories?
Stories as in Instagram Stories, Youtube Shorts, whatever they are called in all platforms. Short video or video-like content.

Short videos, stories, etc. I refuse getting addicted to them. Terrifying watching everyone around me consuming the stuff like we are in a crack house.

Congratulations on shipping. I had a similar idea a while ago after noticing a company at beach using multiple stop-watches to keep track of people renting kayaks and jetskis.

Perhaps I am also ignorant, but I thought the Latin+diacritics system was invented by a Frenchman in modern times, rather than being native to Vietnam.
Close, it was actually portuguese missionaries.
We're so screwed. Tahoe sucks so my Sonoma days are numbered. Win11 sucks and win10 days are numbered. On the other hand the rails guy released Omarchy linux which is pretty great but it will take months to make it usable.
I'm getting used to Linux again after 20+ years of Mac OS.
First, just using more cross-platform software on my Mac. Ditched Safari for Firefox; replaced my MacOS-only password manager; using iMessage less.
Bought the cheapest Framework 13 laptop, running stock Fedora. Omarchy is interesting but too weird for me. Gnome, is still familiar enough.
Using the Linux machine more and more, feels very fresh. To be honest not feeling this excited in a long time. Perhaps the year of Linux on the desktop is indeed coming.

This is DOA not because there is anything wrong with the app, but because iDevices make objectively poor baby monitors.
Babies sleep a lot. A LOT. Any halfway decent baby monitor needs the ability to see in the dark (IR illumination) which iDevices don't have, so unless it's relegated to monitoring play areas during the day, its usefulness is limited. That doesn't mean the software isn't well designed, the hardware is simply not fit for purpose.
I think video is not really required in a baby monitor. A nice to have, perhaps.
As I said in another thread, I used a audio-only baby monitor with 3 kids and didn't feel the need for video.
We just wanted to know if the baby started crying or woke up. And in our case, if it stopped breathing (we were afraid of SIDS - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIDS).

Congratulations on this project, excellent idea.
I sometimes used a FaceTime call between an iPad and my phone as a make shift baby monitor. Audio only, I don’t think video is really necessary. In fact, our Angelcare monitor at home was audio only.
Ours also had sleep apnea detection (a mat to put below the mattress), perhaps the accelerometers could be used to detect lack of movement.
Two side projects, as if 3 kids are not enough!
- a booking platform for surfing schools - a tool for pelvic physiotherapy practitioners handle appointments and exercise prescriptions
Doing backend and frontend for both, but there is a small team helping with #2. Both come from actual needs of actual businesses.
Tech is pretty standard typescript, react and node.
Would love to be working on these full time.

So, they reinvented Do Not Track?
