8 weeks of progress on Sprout Track.. A lot has changed in the app and with our son! I love seeing the progress, and it's crazy how quickly this has changed. My wife and I use this app every day, and it really sneaks up how much has changed in it already.

I did some weekend work on the baby activity tracker. I added some stats and menus that make more sense than modals. It’s looking better with each iteration. I plan to make this available for free for those of you that enjoy to self host.

The first pass of the tracking app is complete! More to be done eventually but for now it’s time for a short nap before a weekend trip to visit family.

Does anyone else suffer from terrible sleep when they have new ideas they are working on? I swear between 1 and 4 AM my mind is like “screw your day, look at all of these ideas I have right now” I do eventually go back to sleep only to wake up later feeling like a zombie.
