1. HelloAviva (http://helloaviva.com/?ref=hn) - Niche app for new parents that helps them feel less isolated in their new context. Shows them the places they can go in town with stroller / small baby.

2. Had a kid and discovered how hard it is to take a baby outside the home. We didn't know where to go or how to easily solve small problems like diaper changes.

3. GF and I are doing this learn the whole lean startup / app / growth thing.

Currently in the Apple app store with an MVP and see a lot of room for growth and improvements. We've been live since the summer and have managed to get into Product Hunt as well as the newsletter for the editor of a major news publication in Sweden.

Great!! Looks you need to do lot of things to get these data. How big is your team?? How do you collecting this data (I assume you are not going single places). It's really great.
Thanks!

Just two of us. I'm the only technical one. We do a lot of scraping and automation where possible which is how we scale the data side of things. However we are still doing things that don't scale. One of those things is still manually entering good spots as we find them. Feel free to reach out with feedback and suggestions.

GF is in New York this week taking meetings and showing the app to mama groups. Any intros are appreciated

Very cool idea! Had no idea I wanted this until a month ago. Keep expanding, if you were in Canada/on Android I'd drop $5 on it in a second.
Pat, I've been itching to get started on the Android version for delivery before the end of year.

I should also mention that we are constantly adding locations. Where in Canada would be most helpful for you?

This is great, thank you for making it!
