I didn't set out to build an app. I set out to survive the newborn fog — the 3am feeds, the "wait, which side was it?", the handover texts that never quite captured the day. The tools I found felt like spreadsheets bolted to a stopwatch. None of them understood that I was tired, that my baby wasn't a chart, and that the person taking over needed context, not a data dump.
So I built the thing I wished existed: an app that helps hold the practical details, reflects your baby's logged rhythm, and lets the people who help actually help. Every feature in OBubba started as a real moment in my own home — the fireflies, the timing guides, Bubba Care handovers, all of it.
OBubba is still mine to look after, and I read every message that comes in. If it makes one night feel a little less lonely, it's doing its job.
