Sounds like a good idea.
But also that’s a type of app that’s needed exclusively by people who don’t currently have the time to do FOSS dev. So that’s probably why nobody has done it.
yeah that was my immediate thought. kids shouldn’t have smart devices they should have 50 year old kit computers with no GUI
“But Daddy, all my friends have a laptop, or a tablet, or something! Can I pleeeeaaaasssseee have a computer?”
*Box of parts and instruction manual thunks onto kid’s desk*
“All right, honey, maybe it is time you had a computer. But you’ll have to put it together yourself! You can ask me for help if you aren’t sure how to do something or you’re stuck, but I’m not going to do it for you!”
I don’t know if six year old me would have hugged the stuffing out of my dad or wanted to strangle him if he pulled that on me.
Just give them Super Nintendo. It runs some great software.
Haha when my kid was younger we self hosted an instance of baby buddy and I was quite surprised it was developed by parents who were also raising a baby at the time
