   I built a routine management app for my kids (7 and 10) called "Oh Yah!" after their constant "Oh yah! I forgot" responses about homework Link: https://ohyahapp.com Interesting challenge was designing for min

   Thanks for this! Really appreciate it that it has no ads. Curious though, is the sound all generated on the fly or is it static audio file?

   Thanks for this. Our child psychologist recommended structured routines, and paper-based scheduling just didn't work for us hence the app

   I did consider that early on, but decided against it for now. Adding social features would be a privacy nightmare (especially with kids involved) and would significantly complicate both the UX and codebase

   Fair points, and I appreciate the candid feedback. The demo tasks were chosen to showcase different task types (timed, photo-proof, etc) rather than being prescriptive about what kids should do. But I can see how it reads as "tiger par

    Ah we're pretty similar in that regard. Officially their screen time is 30min on weekdays (excluding the app usage and chess.com) so the app basically digitise that whiteboard + timer concept Photo proof actually was my wife's ide

    Glad that works for you! We tried paper-based routines but they didn't stick for us. The timer helps them realize tasks take less time than they think, and the photo proof solves disputes about task quality when sometimes their "d

    Thanks! Glad it resonates. The app is designed specifically for kids with a simplified UX and parent mode, so it might feel too basic for adults. However, the core concepts (ordered tasks, focus timer, photo completion) could work. Worth tr

    In this case, navigation means in-app navigation. When a task timer is running, kids can't switch to other tasks, go back to the main screen, or change profiles. They have to complete the current task first The goal is to keep them foc

    Thanks! They actually liked the photo part. Right now just focusing to handle daily routine but could expand later depending on the feedback

    Yeah, that's a valid concern. We use an older spare iPhone for this, which worked out well. iOS doesn't have a "Kids Corner" equivalent unfortunately - you'd need to use Screen Time restrictions to lock down the dev

    Thanks! This was my wife's idea and I thought it's interesting but was skeptical at first. But after we started using it, it actually helped a lot! Much less whining/crying and a lot less stressful for my wife and I So at lea

    For the monospace font I still revert back to DejaVu Sans Mono/Menlo. Somehow other fonts just doesn't click and feels a bit off

    Is there any message ordering guarantee in NATS? With Kafka you can achieve this by using keyed message and messages in the same partition will always be ordered Disclosure: I work for Confluent
