This will be our second kid, and at least for us figuring out a name that we both love is hard. There are literally tons of baby-name apps out there, most of them more fully-featured and polished than Nom de Bébé and you should probably use one of those. However a lot of them include a disturbing amount of tracking or for any number of reasons just didn't work for my wife and I (bugs, subscriptions, lack of names, et…

Being rich doesn't make you upper class, evidently.
Maybe not in Europe (and that is arguable depending on the country). In the US it absolutely does.
Here's a good resource if you want to read up on how class works in the US: https://siderea.livejournal.com/1260265.html

This. Please don't create apps that shouldn't be apps.
Please do whatever the hell you want. There's a difference between asking a question, making a suggestion and shoving ideals down somebody's throat.
Indeed. Especially if you want to piss off potensial users/customers.

Unfortunately, the "ideal" for many is to have an app for their - well - app, or service, whatever it might be. Usually it's just a perfectly functioning responsive web service that is turned to a native app instead of just going for a hybrid app (at least to start with).
In this specific case, there's is _absolutely no reason_ it should be provided as an app, at least not a native one.
Because:
The user already has everything installed on his phone to use the service; a browser.
To me, _as a (potential) user_, having to install this app would have been showing something down my throat. To solve that problem, the developer could have created it as a responsive web application first, and maybe made an hybrid app, and then decided if it is worthwhile creating a native app.
Why the desparate need to create native apps and have to maintain two totally different projects when there's no need to?

But how do you know if it should be an app? It seems like we need a ShouldThisBeAnApp app where you can upload screenshots, descriptions, API diagrams, etc. and allow AI + community input to make the determination.
In this case it's very easy: if all the functionality can be run in the browser, which already is an app installed on my computer, don't make it an app. At least not a native one.

Don't use apps you think shouldn't be apps? Making normative statements about something OP did for fun and shared with us is a bit odd.
I said: don't _create_ apps that shouldn't be apps.

It's a baby name generator, there's no need to track everything!
...it sounds horrific, I'm glad OP went with this model.
