BabyNamer VS Baby Buddy

Haha, I guess this is what every programmer does when they have a kid. I wrote an ELO ranking program when I had my first kid: https://github.com/cortesoft/BabyNamer

Give it a list of names, it presents pairs of names to voters who choose which they prefer of the two. Allows many people to work together to narrow down a name choice.

I took the site down after a while because I didn't want to keep paying for it after both my kids were born.

It worked ok, although the app basically just confirmed that we had clear favorites for our names.

If you're up for self-hosting, there's BabyBuddy[0]. There's no first-party native app, but it is a decent web app and there's some third-party apps/integrations. And of course, multiple users is a priority. No affiliation, just a user :)

The templates seem to be in /app/babybuddy/core/templates/core (see this page: https://github.com/babybuddy/babybuddy/tree/master/core )

Something like babybuddy (https://github.com/babybuddy/babybuddy)?

I'm currently using it as an interface for Baby Buddy, which has a pretty great Home Assistant integration for tracking feedings, diaper changes, etc. for my newborn.

I set up a self hosted baby tracker app: (baby buddy)[https://github.com/babybuddy/babybuddy] it's our second baby so we have not been tracking any of the baby stats. I literally only use it to track my pumps.

I’m using Baby Buddy, I built some ESPHome devices to trigger on button presses (from what others have posted as modifications). So when we change a diaper we hit the appropriate button (I mounted it above the changing table) and it fires off and logs a diaper change (wet, solid, etc). Then using the Baby Buddy HA integration I have an automation that fires every time the “Last Diaper” time is changed, it then makes an API call to Grocy and deducts one diaper from the stock. I did it this way since we use the Baby Buddy app via the web interface on our phones as well, so this way if you log a diaper from the changing table buttons or from your phone the diaper stock is correctly updated.

https://github.com/babybuddy/babybuddy best app ever. Free, not selling your data, lots of features, can add multiple babies.

Tried to get my wife to use https://github.com/babybuddy/babybuddy but she wanted an app not a website.
