PoopyFeed is an open source baby care tracking app I built with Django. It tracks feedings (bottle/breast), diaper changes, and naps.

The main reason I built this: commercial baby tracking apps either have subscriptions, require accounts with their servers, or don't let multiple caregivers collaborate well. I wanted something self-hostable where my family's data stays under our control.

  Key features:                                                                                                                                                                              
  - Track feedings (bottle amount in oz, or breast with duration/side), diapers (wet/dirty/both), and naps                                                                                   
  - Share children with others via invite links                                                                                                                                              
  - Role-based access: co-parents get full edit access, caregivers can only view and add entries                                                                                             
  - Multi-child support                                                                                                                                                                      
  - Mobile-friendly UI (designed for one-handed use while holding a baby)                                                                                                                    
                                                                                                                                                                                             
  Tech stack: Django 6.0, PostgreSQL, Bootstrap 5. Deploys to Render with one click via the included blueprint, or self-host with Podman/Docker.                                             
                                                                                                                                                                                             
  GitHub: https://github.com/DavidMiserak/poopyfeed                                                                                                                                                                            
                                                                                                                                                                                             
  Would love feedback, especially from other parents who've dealt with the "who fed the baby last?" problem at 3am.
