Thank you! Yes I built that feature exactly with my own grandmother in mind. She hates modern tech, but has been using landlines her whole life.

Hug detection is via a pressure sensor that is embedded within the enclosure

Thank you so much! Well I have pre-recorded custom stories for the people who have purchased so far, based on parental request specifically for the child they are buying for. The app allows parents to choose how they want to cycle through stories - they can shuffle, set playlists or repeat the same story. If the user listens to all stories, it just starts from the beginning again. Hope that answers!

Changed it so the itineraries are viewable without requiring sign up. Thanks for commenting - hope you're less grumpy tomorrow :)

changed it now so you don't need to sign up to view an itinerary. Hopefully this is an improvement! This project was just a challenge I set myself to see what I could create alongside my day job - I'm no expert of growth strategies at all (in fact I don't have one). I'm learning as I go along. If it's coming across as a poor choice of tactic - apologies! More than eager to learn from suggestions here :)

thank you for the feedback - much appreciated. I did in fact get your feedback that you submitted. I;ve fixed the UI so it reflects that your message was delivered. I've also changed it so that clicking on an itinerary will take you to view the itinerary without requiring login. Sorry it took a bit of time to get back to you - just got home from a 12 hour hospital shift and got working on it straight away!

that's a good point. I've just changed it so you don't need to sign up to view a publicly shared itinerary. so you can browse through itineraries on the homepage without requiring sign up.

so i've now added a page that will route you to view the itinerary you clicked on from the main page without requiring you to sign up. Hopefully this helps. Sorry for the delay in getting this up and running - was working a 12 hour shift, so had to wait until after work

not too sure what you mean - the planner is available as soon as you log in. Was there something missing for you?

Interesting point - I personally am fairly easy about signing up to cool new products that I like the sound of. Although it makes sense that some people might be hesitant to give details away so easily. Do you reckon featuring a video demo would help mitigate this?

Hey thank you - I'm still trying to optimise the mobile experience. It's primarily meant to be desktop based. Will get working on it for you!

hey that's a really good point - thank you :) Still consider myself a bit of a newbie, so really grateful to hear tips such as yours. I'll get working on it!
