Ovumcy isn’t trying to replace them. The idea here is to explore a self-hosted, web-based approach that focuses on running the app on infrastructure you control, with simple deployment and cross-device access through the browser.
Different tools optimize for different things. Native apps like Drip or Mensinator are great for fully local tracking, while Ovumcy explores a self-hosted model that can be accessed from multiple devices without relying on a third-party service.
I see how they differ now. Local vs self hosted. Niche use. But I get your idea especially helpful between partners I suppose. Keep it going! Let's see where it lands in time. Personally I think the name is hard to remember and pronounce correctly which means it might not be super catchy and really take off. My opinion and in no way should deter you. Perhaps tweak the name. Overall though good job and keep going. This not a negative thing I say. Just to trying to help you refine the idea to success. Best of luck!
Appreciate that!
this is great, especially when our government starts tracking everything we do online.
great forward thinking if that was your intention.
Yup. You really don't want the maga cult monitoring your cycle. If you stopped menstruating for a bit you must be pregnant. Where is the baby? Omg you murdered the baby by taking Tylenol!
I see that we face it all over the world now.
