  • Sounds super cool! I’m out of that phase for the moment, but when my kid was little.i used Baby Daybook. Other than the obvious FOSS benefit any other big differences in your app to make myself and other parents use yours?

    FOSS is a big plus, don’t get me wrong, I’m just curious if you feel there are any special features in yours or gaps you havnt tackled yet.

    The most beneficial feature I’m thinking you may be missing is letting two parent use the app for the same kid and have it stay in sync.


  • The OGL only covers what’s in the SRD, which is essentially the Basic Rules you find in the starter set plus a bit more.

    Also worth noting after the fiasco earlier this year the SRD is also published under Creative Commons.

    The full rulebooks aren’t covered under any open license, and the only way to (legally) publish things with content from those books is to do so via DMsGuild where a portion of sales goes to royalties, unless you get some kind of an exclusive license (which generally doesn’t happen).

    Pathfinder is different, in that they made all the rulebooks open licensed, so something like Archives of Nethys completely legit, so long as they don’t use artwork or specific IP.

    (This is all a very loose, oversimplification of the whole situation, and I’m aware of that. Rules/mechanica cant be copywriten, only the specific expression of them, yada yada.)
