Ooh, I’ve had this issue too, with my personal website, which is deployed with netlify, and it never even occurred to me there was a solution to it, other than a note in the GitHub repo telling people what they need to change!

R Dev Days (for base R contribution) are a lot of fun and hugely productive! We just had one in Warwick with a fantastic group of both new and experienced contributors, including this wonderful group of @rladies.org.

Thank you! I like the suggestion. I remember that size/fruit feature from one of the popular apps that I also used during my pregnancies and it is a cute thing to have 🥑

Also, how cute is the hex! It's a collaboration between myself and Charles Freestone from WOW Design (also my brother-in-law). The hands are a trace from a photo of me holding my very pregnant belly.

I'm also keen to keep improving the package, so please do let me know if you have any issues or feature requests.

So, if you are pregnant (or your partner is) or might be in the future, please do take it look 👶. The package offers functionality that differs from typical pregnancy apps and trackers (and with none of the data privacy concerns).

I'll have a blog post out before too long describing the package development process and the design decisions made along the way. I put a LOT of thought into this, because I want the package to be a pleasure to use.

This raised some interesting challenges, e.g. how to handle different people's due dates so that they wouldn't have to enter them every time they called one of the functions (in my personal versions, these were hard-coded), and how to address the different users.

This has been a deeply personal project. It started as a private package just for me, during my first pregnancy, and I had cause to reuse it again three years later, at which point I decided to generalise and expand it for wider release.
