Just Launched an App for Dads

Hey there, First time posting on HN. We're looking for feedback from parents. We're 2 dads who started working on Dadditude in the midst of covid lockdowns last year. Being a dad can be a long, emotional, draining, and lonely journey. Through our research we learned that dads want to improve their parenting but are too shy to ask for help, and are tired of reading content online written for mums. We set out to fix that and create a platform that would help dads feel seen, validated, and supported. By helping dads, we hope to support moms and partners too, because all parents deserve more…

In plain words

Dadditude is a parenting app designed specifically for fathers who want to improve their parenting skills but struggle to find relevant resources. Created by two dads during the pandemic, the platform offers weekly coaching guides developed with parenting professionals. It aims to help fathers feel supported and validated while addressing the gap in parenting content typically written for mothers. The app serves dads seeking practical guidance in a community space where they can ask for help without embarrassment.
