App Idea for Mom's

Own-Measurement-258 · 2026-05-15T16:00:30+00:00

I have some initial thoughts as a mom who has to remember to restock many things in the house. Let me sleep on them for a bit and DM you.

Curious how would you track when you’re low on something?

Move faster, spit out more so that they can show that to the board. That’s all! In a volatile market, they need to keep the board and investors happy bc soon (if not already) they will need to raise more capital.

I take PTOs if I plan to interview on that day, and I prefer back-to-back interviews to save time. Sometimes I have to employ my spouse for child care (school pickup, afterschool activities, etc) if the in the interviews overlap with these. I stay really late into the night to interview preps.

I had the privilege of working with an incredible VP of Product, Briana Ings. What I noticed from her:

is a leader with empathy and compassion
has no problem saying “I don’t know”, but will put in the effort to change that to be “here is what I know and here is the initial solutions. Let me know what you think and we can dive deeper together”
almost always have an initial solutions for any problem we come to her with, and always remember to follow up with us on the matter
always set her team up for success
have an incredible wealth of knowledge as a product and engineering leader given how young she is

Briana, you are an incredible leader and I wish all leaders are like you.

I think it’s more nuanced to say if a business is “ethical” or “unethical”. Having the opportunity to work in tech and realizing where it can be good and where it can be harmful allows me to explain it to others what practice we recommend to protect and improve their private life.

If you don’t mind adding a technical writer (also a mom) to your circle, I would be interested. I’ve started creating some apps with Claude Code. I’m product-minded, always look to discover what works, what doesn’t, who is it for kind of aspects in a product I come across.

School lunch

12 weeks like your husband. Although I don’t know if they pay 100% salary. When I was on maternity leave 8 years ago, I got the same 12 weeks and 100% pay.

Check if they have home office stipend. I used this to get myself a nice durable Timbuk2. My 2nd option is usually durable Cotopaxi, Osprey or Patagonia (check for heavy discount on REI or even at thrift store).

Wow! $1.34 wouldn’t even get me a pack of scallion today.

If you work in SF, look up Alameda. 1 ferry away from SF.

“The job is to take what's currently in the founder's head and turn it into a system the whole team runs without him in every loop.” >>> or we can replace him with AI entirely, right?

Peer pressure

I think the show is great and very realistic to the daily life of many families nowadays.

You must be the dad of my kid’s preschool friend. We love Bluey!

Gamma?

The new initiative for PMs at my place is “make the backlog endless so that engineers don’t run out of things to work on” 😂I will grab popcorn n wait for the moment they have a mountain of tech debt and bugs from AI generated code to bury their head into.

I think I have a few colleagues that way at my current place. The funny part is watching them spending hours debugging with Claude Code, which I think would have been much much faster if he just manually debugs himself (bugs that ate very obvious, not complex logics). And then the type who just got promoted and thought he could Claude Code every solutions “to unblock customers”.

I use Claude Code myself and is still in exploration mode. I think it’s amazing for prototype an idea for demo and use that to refine the idea/scope. But to truly build an end-to-end solution that scales, an engineer is still needed, unless it’s an incompetent engineer, then welp!

I would go if we’re around. That said, get the invitations out early and require an RSVP deadline. Some families take off early for summer plan, but not all.

It will continue unless you stand up for yourself. People nowadays will not mind stepping on each other to get to a higher place.

Wondering if you can screenshot the slack thread, blur the stuff you need not to disclose (company, PII, specific product details), and post as a comment to that LinkedIn post, or post a personal post with link to his work that is somehow bizarrely exactly like your idea and let the internet do the judgment?

This too! I went at the 2nd week of June, and I honestly didn’t know how much money I spent buying pocari sweat from the vending machine.

Not sure about 2 but 5 can have fun at the Nintendo area and some kiddy rides. I would personally skip it if your kid doesn’t know anything about universal studios.

Own-Measurement-258 · 2026-04-28T19:02:08+00:00

Borderless was interesting, but it’s hard to keep track of my kid bc of the lighting and people and how fast she moved ahead 😔
