Baby Buddy VS Listmonk

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 )

https://github.com/babybuddy/babybuddy [could probably be amended to use for anyone]

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.

I have mainly name and email fields in the newsletter signup and there is no verification. Then I manually blacklisted all the bots in the email service Listmonk.

Listmonk – An open-source alternative to Mailchimp just released version 3. It’s great as a stand-alone newsletter. Also seems like a low lift for capturing leads for side projects.

Here is another great self hosted solution that I came across. Really high performance (written in Go). No affiliation but well done open source product.

When I searched for this I had a very hard time finding a right answer because all the results were SEO blogs advertising their newsletter services (Mailchimp, Convertkit, etc.), which is not the same thing.

So I wrote this overview covering all the options I found. Additional input is welcome.

Even though Listmonk seems like the best free & open source option, there aren't many guides for it and the documentation is quite limited. So [I've been having trouble getting it running on a CentOS server](https://github.com/knadh/listmonk/issues/1004#issuecomment-1...).

It's a shame that it seems to be used by thousands of people but almost no one bothers to create guides or improve the docs.
