Hannah Hazi on June 16, 2022

About this talk While I was pregnant I developed a web app to track my progress in a fun and different way - with emoji! I used the web ...

Hello Hannah! I am a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist who is starting into the software dev world. I love learning and hearing of tools people are creating to help people who are pregnant, so thank you so much for your app, your talk, and sharing your resources!

Belated congratulations on your little boy! We need more women making apps and other products for women. Thank you for demonstrating what that looks like!

The tool and used technology is so good, at least you can track yourself and your baby as well (even tho it's not directly relevant to me).

btw, great talk, Hannah!

This is such a fun talk Hannah!

  1. I love the emoji use! Python3 is the BEST for that
  2. It's so awesome you were able to make something because of a gap you identified in pregnancy apps. I'm working on a side project to track food for my picky eater.
  3. Was the user authentication/account creation very difficult for you?

  1. Yesss I am a big fan of languages that fully support Unicode 🎉
  2. That food tracking app sounds like a cool idea! I've had some good and not so good app experiences with tracking weaning so far - I'm not sure if any of them's really nailed it for me yet
  3. Nope! I kind of cheated using Anvil to make this app, honestly. There's authentication for Google, Facebook and Microsoft accounts already baked in - anvil.works/docs/users/authenticat... I just used the Google one but I could have added more

Excellent talk, Hannah!

How do you balance your time between your day job, home life, and your side projects?

So you mean everyone can use your website to track their pregnancy? Or does he/she has to go to anvil and create his/her own python codes?

Yes, anyone can just go to howpregnantami.com and use the site to track their pregnancy - they can sign up for emails if they want to as well, or just make an account.

The Python code part just shares how I made it - with a copy of my code and your own anvil app you could make your own version if you wanted to and host it somewhere else (maybe with even cooler emoji??)

Congrats on this cool app! Did this process of building "How Pregnant Am I?" give you ideas for other child development apps?

Oh, I totally forgot to mention another one I already put together, actually! When I was tired of twiddling my thumbs waiting around for my little one to put in an appearance I made a data dashboard about due date science (turns out the due date is NOT the whole story): anvil.works/blog/what-do-due-dates...

Hello, Hannah!

Loved your presentation and Anvil! I'm currently learning Python, CSS and HTML. Having a tool that join it altogether made me super interested! How can i learn more about Anvil?

There's a friendly forum on their site - anvil.works/forum/ or you can just get started with a beginner tutorial - I think this might be the first one I ever tried? anvil.works/learn/tutorials/databa... it's pretty newbie friendly

Awesome! The more of us developing our own apps the better (and yes he is adorable, I may be a LITTLE biased though!)
