Ramsey: Thank you for your story. I’m glad that TT has been helpful in so many ways. I hear you about wanting to share and connect with other trackers. The new version is going to let us build more social features. They are not going to be in the initial launch, but will be coming shortly thereafter. thanks for the feedback!!

How awesome!!! I’m so happy I found TT! My 7.5mo has been on it since she was about 1 month old, and has had sever Infant GERD since about 2 months of age. Being able to track exactly when she had her medicine, when she slept and for how long, when she nursed (and now that she’s on a hypoallergenic formula), how much she ate, has been a LIFE SAVER. People keep asking me how I’ve kept my sanity (after being present for one of her “episodes” where she screams and cries for hours straight) I can honestly say I think it was my TT! My previous child was easy to “read”. Hey had a “hungry cry” and a “sleepy cry” and so it wasn’t difficult to know what he wanted. Since the new baby cries so much all the time, it’s hard to know exactly what she needs, but I can easily look at her TT and know what it is! One thing I would love to see is a community forum where we can all share our tracker links (if we want) and possibly make friends! I recommend TT to anybody I know having a baby! THANKS!!!

Christine: Currently our mobile version is simply an optimized version of the website. It’s designed with a streamlined interface and doesn’t use as much bandwidth. If you have a web browser on your Palm or Blackberry, then you can use the “mobile” site right now. Just click the “mobile” link at the bottom of any page to see what it looks like. We don’t have plans to build dedicated apps for Palm or Blackberry but do want to make sure that the mobile-optimized version of the site looks good on all small devices.

Great news. But will there be a mobile app besides for the iphone? i don’t have one, nor does my husband. the biggest barrier to use for us is having to remember the details of the day or waddle over to one of our laptops, all bleary eyed, to be sure we record everything. if we could enter the details immediately on our devices (i used a palm centro, husband’s on a blackberry) that would be ideal. Thanks again for such a great concept though, now using this on our second kid, and still loving it.

Carolyn: If you share your site with me, I’ll be happy to read your charts and tell you what I see (but, if your child is very young, there might not be any strong patterns yet). It might even make a good blog post to help out other parents unsure about interpreting the charts. Let’s get in touch over email.

I love the site and the ability to track what my daughter does every day and night. I just don’t know how to read the graphs and what they mean, I can’t seem to see a pattern. Am I a dope or is this difficult for anyone else?

Ben, if by “daycare version” you mean something that daycare providers could use, entering data for my child while he’s at daycare but having that data be integrated with my ‘home’ version, and also allowing them to keep those records (if they wanted), then I think that would be awesome! Of course, with our final child being nearly 10 months old, I don’t know if we’ll be able to use it. But I want to see Trixie Tracker thrive, and I would push for our daycare to adopt it, even if we’ve left the baby room!
