When tracking your period lets companies track you
Validates my decision to self-host and donate to Baby Buddy: https://github.com/babybuddy/babybuddyI figured all those “free” (and possibly even the paid) baby apps were likely doing all sorts of shady things with that data. One thing for me to use a period/fertility tracker for myself - quite another to throw my child’s data up to god knows who for god knows what ends long before he could possibly consent.If you don’t know why it matters how many diapers there have been in the last 24 hours and what kind of mess was in there, along with how often and how much milk was consumed, you’ve obviously not been the primary caretaker of an infant recently. If you don’t know why you’d want an app for that, ditto - “mommy brain” is real.Pro-tip: set up and test your Baby Buddy instance well before your due date - including having your partner try using it on their device.
