Now you can dowanload the log!

Quite a few parents asked me whether they can download the log data. I think this is a good idea.

The user can get a list of all the baby's activities from the settings page. Currently it's very simple - just a plain web page displaying all the activities. The user can do whatever they want with some simple copy and paste. I tried a couple of ways, and wrote down the easiest on the page.

This feature is released today.

New version, now with Share!

Released a new version with the Share feature! Now the user can share a baby's log with others. To find out about how it works, see here: http://www.babyloggr.com/help, click "SHARE" from the links.

Before we have this feature, my wife had to sign in with my Google account to log activities. But this cause annoying disruptions to other Google services she uses, and she had to constantly log in and out.

Now I just set up a share and allow her to "write", and she can sign in with her own account. We both can add activities.

Another share I plan to add is to the grandparents, I think this will make them feel much more connected to our daughter's day. This share can be readonly.

Maybe I'll also share with some of my friends who just had or will have new babies soon. We often ask about how each other's day is like. Maybe I'll do that just for a short while, and turn it off.

Anyway, I've also fixed a couple of small bugs and changed the style of the help pages...still not totally satisfied with the look. And I really want to have a screen cast instead of screenshots. But I'm beat now, and there are many other more improvement ideas lurking in my head.
