As the father of a 6 week old, I am curious about the app, but I'm not sure I would use it. Maybe the wife would. I'll put a link to your KS on my blog post today; which means nothing because I have 4 readers. Sorry. But maybe I'll get slashdotted :) (is that still a thing?)

I think it would be awesome/helpful if you and your wife explained exactly why you wouldn't use it (with brutal honesty) and what would have to change for you to want to use it.

I would really like this!

I will talk to my wife this weekend. She may have some insight I don't see. For me I just like my phone, so spending any more time on it with a new app is more a chore. I am sure I'm an outliner with my attitude about my phone. That being said I would like to see you succeed with this, as I am sure it could really be helpful for the right parents.

OK...my wife and I discussed your app over the weekend and turns out she's a fan. She had never supported a KS campaign before, but said she would yours.

I am not a KS marketer, nor do I pretend to be one. What has been your marketing outside of KS? Did you try to promote within Kellymom or any of the "new mother" facebook groups? Is it bad form to purchase ad space for a KS campaign?

I did a blog post last spring where I asked several people I know about the campaigns they ran. Feel free to take a look: http://michalsen.wordpress.com/2014/04/01/kickstarter-how-it...

I think it would be pretty cool to do a follow up blog article on re-imaging a campaign. Let me know if you are interested.
