letsblockit VS Baby Buddy

SEEKING VOLUNTEERS: https://letsblock.it - https://github.com/letsblockit/letsblockit/

A companion project for uBlockOrigin that curates a corpus of content blocking templates, and provides the server to create you personal list of content blocking rules. The official instance just hit 800 active lists and a lot of template suggestions have been filed recently.

The easiest way to contribute is to create new templates, fix or extend existing ones. You need to learn the uBlockOrigin syntax and how to properly target the right elements, happy to mentor! See recent PRs for examples and https://github.com/letsblockit/letsblockit/blob/main/data/fi... for documentation.

The server itself is built with Go and HTMX, it's pretty low-maintenance, but there's interesting improvements if you want to toy with it (need to open issues for these).

I use a combination of:

- https://letsblock.it/ and Ublock Origin

- The Unhook plugin for Firefox

- Blocking channels on my YouTube account when I see something inappropriate

- Adguard Home also blocks certain channels

to try to moderate the YouTube content for my kids. It's not perfect, but it does get rid of a lot of garbage (like YouTube Shorts).

You should submit these rules to https://letsblock.it ! AFAIK their distractions rules really only cover YouTube

They're horrible.

Luckily you can use ublock origin and letsblockit, or other browser plugins, to completely erase them from YouTube.

https://letsblock.it

https://letsblock.it : it allows you to create your own content blocking rule list from a corpus or community-maintained templates. It allows you to hide pinterest and stackoverflow clones from search results, remove shorts and upcoming streams from youtube, and many more. The project is now two years old and sustaining a slow but steady growth with an active community.

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.
