Ex PM in Japan here. Excellent advice. Works great for families too.

Tshirts! I only care about finding a cool way to print this on tshirts! Top layer as a gloss varnish or something. (Well done on the font experiment!)

As a vibe coder and a product guy trying to make the world a better place with tech, this is just the most inspiring stuff. Well done on doing this for you and your family and soon so many other families. This is what AI is for. Best thing I’ve read all year!!

We never had a working Siri so we can wait another few years. Not that it matters at all.

Could be punishment for devs who flew through the PRs without care.

Thanks, it's fun to build, and I learned a ton.

Nice! Do you have a set of data points that you get your claw to report on daily?

You can reach out. It's all made with Claude Cowork to extract the Historical data from my 4GB Apple Health export (accessible from the Apple Health app, then dumping it into Lovable to build a dashboard with the data points that I'm interested in, and then a little design pass to make it look nice. You also need to figure out what metrics are important to you and then playing with it. Lovable know "how" to build dashboard, so it's about telling it what you'd like to see/learn about.

I've actually learned a ton by simply requesting the data from Apple via their export in the Apple Health app, and then loading it into Claude Cowork and letting it analyze it. I also have about 4GB of data dating back 2015. You can isolate a few dimensions you're interested in and let it guide you. You can also ask it to export that data only and then dump it into Lovable for example to build a small dashboard. For the longest hikes, that would require regular outputs... So I'd recommend that auto-export app, or, if you save them into Strava, building something to extract from you and your friends' accounts to build a leaderboard. Do it!

Three people building frontier AI: Boris Cherny (Claude Code), Qasar Younis (Applied Intuition), Llion Jones (Transformer paper, Sakana AI), all spent time in Japan and credit it with changing how they think about building.

(you could fix your link so it's clickable) 1. thanks for building this. I will get back on my iron deficiency diet. I now understand it takes over 7 weeks to reliably fix 2. when doing data input, I'm lazy, especially for the blood age calc. So my process is: upload list + my blood results to the LLM and spit out the list of values I need (terrible privacy job right here for me) but anyway, I wonder if you could offer another route for data input, like a text field, with the full list and empty values, that I could copy to an LLM and ask to populate with my results and then spit back to paste into the form. Keep up the good work!

It's really fun! Thank you. On the result screen, let me click on the locations so that I can learn more about them. Some museums I didn't know and would click immediately to learn more about them. Or even add a little explanation of what they are.

Sounds great. Would everyone "accept" the result, or would it be worth adding a little LLM explanation of why the result should content everyone by explaining how the game retains elements or this other voted game and that other voted game, to try and make people go "ok, sure"? I'm not a huge gamer so maybe this is an obvious reaction they would get from their own experience when seeing the result without needing a LLM explanation.

A few months ago, I built a simple athlete profile page for my son (Track sprinting) to log his performance and progress over time.

He liked what I built for him and I got jealous, so I expanded it with my own profile (Trail running).

Then, I got curious… Could I build a full web platform for people to track their sporting life? I mean we have LinkedIn and CVs for our job career, why not celebrate all our sports/training efforts as well.

After a couple of months on the side, I'm pretty happy with Flexbase. If you're into sports, give it a try and let me know what's missing for you.

Note: it's mobile-only past the front page.

You can list the sports you're doing or did in your entire life, you can add your PRs, training routines, gear, competition results, photos. You can also list your clubs, and invite/follow your training buddies.

Honestly, I'm not sure where (or if) to expand it... Turn it into a Club-centric tool, make it more into a social network for sporty people.

Lots of ideas, but I'd love to find someone to work on it with me. I find that building alone is less fun.

Thanks for your sporty feedback.

Pretty sure people would want to play with it here in Geneva but it would need to expand to covering the French, Italian and Austrian Alps too over time. Keep us posted.

Beautiful maniac product alert. The translucent lines on the paper seem to fade away when reading the text we wrote on them.

will fix this asap.

Thanks for all the thoughtful feedback. Some great food for thought and some quick fixes needed immediately. Grateful.

Error message: Eeeek. Sorry for the less than optimal first experience. It seems fine on my end though. Please consider visiting a bit later? Looking fwd to your additional feedback.

r/daddit: I'm a long time lurker and I'm so grateful for this resource. Sounds like you're quite involved there. Thank you! I've wondered how I could introduce Dadditude there but I think I prefer to wait until the offering is more differentiated. Unless you think there is a way to do it now.

Thank you for the rephrasing suggestions, that is so helpful and I'll definitely incorporate some of this next time I pitch. I love the concept of weasel words (as a non-native speaker).

I just wanted feedback on the app! heheh No, I'm grateful for all the feedback, and indeed meant "can be". Thanks for your support.

Right?! So many apps don't even let you see the home screen without signing up.

Thanks for sharing. Love this.

> and not in a manner governed by your own ambitions, dreams, fears and hopes.

and emotions, personal childhood trauma, stress...

We have some great content on "Parenting Blindspots".

I'm sorry that you're going through this situation and I'm glad that you've reached out for support long ago. I hope things settle down soon for you and your kid.

Thanks for sharing these details about Italy. I had no idea. Is it the same for moms there?

Thanks (!!) for sharing all this thoughtful feedback. I promise to reply later.

well, there you go, who needs Dadditude when the HN community is looking out for each other like this! (As a dad of 1, I feel triggered by your last words... I wish we'd bought a duo pack)

Oh!! <3 A sort of "Buddy System" where you get paired with other dads in same situation, yes!! It's on the roadmap.

Appreciated.

We've found that dads in the 0~6 year old range want to have the content at their fingertips for when they have a few minutes off (toilet breaks!!), and not having to fiddle with their laptop and get more distracted. But I get that this might not work for everyone. We think that we have better control over the experience in an app, and I'll add that the type of features we're currently building will be easier to interact with from an app than from desktop.

Gotcha, thanks for the heads up. You mean, short time between install and uninstall? We'll need to balance that with the need to keep the lights on. People seem generally OK with signing-up to post a question or tip but to read a free guide, there is resistance. Hey, that's why posting the HN is so great! Thanks for your feedback.

I've spent a year researching and talking to parenting professionals, academic researchers, therapists, parent support group organizers (online and offline). We ended up working with 18 parenting professionals, most of them PhDs, to write content that is relevant to the spectrum of needs that dads are expressing.

The social network side of things was to try and reach dads where I was able to (being a non parenting professional) and validate that dads were indeed looking for such support on this range of subjects. Dads are on social networks and it's a great place to reach out to them. We agree that social networks are a terrible interface to offer support. We use it as a beacon to say, we hear you, we see you and we have our app if you want more qualified support.
