Congratulations to you and your wife on the baby boy.

Hey Stef, any news on the home front?

Steph, I’m having trouble posting a question. I keep getting a message saying the title is too long.

Hi Stef, the more i look around the site the more I like it. Great work!

Stef, commendations on this site, it’s a fantastic idea.

Didn’t have a glitch with that but have had a glitch adding a tip on one of my pledges – I’ve made a note of it over on the support pages

Hi Stef, absolutely love this site. My son is only six weeks old but can see this site being invaluable as he gets older to remind me to try something little once in a while to help me be a better dad.

Keep up the good work!

Nice work on the DADSDAQs! I love the ‘my progress/everyone’s progress’ on each pledge!

Looking good, Stef, almost makes me want to have a child so I can use it ;-)

This is a great idea! And it’s nicely done! Good job guys :)

This site was my idea, and I’m the guy who’s building it (along with a talented team of people).

I thought we were lacking a good ‘dads community’ online that did what I wanted to do, so I’ve set out to build it!

If you’ve got ideas or problems let me know. Nice to have you with us.
