Good luck! Let me know if you give it a try, and if you think of anything that could be added/improved. Having the data has been so incredibly help for me and my wife.
I strongly urge you to make a mobile version - it's much easier to enter data on the go, rather than having to walk over to your computer. UX is going to be key here - dropdowns are hard, buttons are easy.
Yeah, I really would have liked to make it an app with better handling of offline data and such. But I simply didn't have the setup or experience to approach it that way by the time I decided to start (I think a month or so before our son was born).
On the plus side, the current app does have a pretty solid (I think!) mobile UI. When in mobile, there is a special one-click button for starting a timer and bigger "quick add" dropdown for entries. I actually have been meaning to add a mobile version screenshot to highlight the fact that it is pretty functional on mobile (with the caveat that it needs an Internet connection). Mobile is how my wife and I use it about 95% of the time and has been a huge driver in my development of the UI.

Nice! I didn't check it out on mobile.
I'm incredibly impressed, btw, that you're working on something like this with a newborn. The month before and after birth, I was basically dead to the world. Kudos to you and her!
All those kudos can go to my wife. She was incredibly supportive of giving me time to work on this before the birth and tweak it after. We also had lots of good support from her family. Definitely would not have happened without that.
