Solo-building a "tacticool" pregnancy app for dads while on maternity leave 🍼🪖

Hi Product Hunt! I'm Marketa, a solo developer from Prague.

When I got pregnant, my husband and I realized that most pregnancy apps treat dads like side characters and are covered in pink flowers. He completely boycotted them. So, while on maternity leave (and coding between diaper changes!), I decided to build "Partner in Action".

It s a pregnancy survival guide designed entirely around a military-briefing aesthetic. Instead of comparing the baby's size to a piece of fruit, the dad is upgrading a 'Recon Operator' and managing the 'Inventory'. It even changes his status to 'AWOL/Desertion' if he ignores the app for 7 days.

Since I'm building this entirely solo, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Have you ever built a product just because your partner hated the existing alternatives? Let me know your feedback on the tacticool concept!

Partner in Action - A tacticool pregnancy survival guide for expecting dads.

Solo-developed by a mom on maternity leave. "Partner in Action" is a dark-mode, military-style pregnancy survival guide for expecting fathers. No pink flowers or fruit comparisons—just tactical mission briefings, baby gear inventory, and dark humor.
