Show HN: Just Launched an App for Dads
Hey there,<p>First time posting on HN. We're looking for feedback from parents.<p>We're 2 dads who started working on Dadditude in the midst of covid lockdowns last year.<p>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 support.<p>Quick timeline so far:
We started a community of dads on Instagram last Feb to test hypothesis and learn about their needs. We then launched an MVP in April, a super simple app serving weekly coaching guides created with a parenting professional partner.
We made several updates in summer and fall, working like crazy in the background to convince parenting professionals to write coaching guides for us. Especially hard when you're a nobody. But people are kind and we found all the support we needed.
We launched a v1 app mid-December with 50 coaching guides and a more full fledge community board (and a paid membership tier).
We've just added on-demand parenting professional support in Jan.
And last week added a picture board for dads to upload pics of their families, and that's become more popular than the forums!! ← I knew dads wanted to feel more visible but I love these discoveries!<p>Super proud of the work done so far, but still so much to do to smooth out the product experience, and get closer to PFM. So much learning.<p>web: <a href="http://www.dadditude.app" rel="nofollow">http://www.dadditude.app</a>

Show HN: Staat – mission control for eng managers
We made this because we thought managers could be more strategic and effective for their teams, their stakeholders, and themselves. One central place to get a pulse on project changes, bottlenecks, and updates from across tools. Think of it as a manager IDE.<p>No not an engineering performance measurement tool, a first point of contact to triage and prioritize the day without having to spend time digging into 4-5 information channels (Slack channels, unexpected meetings, task management boards, pull requests, etc).<p>This is our experimental quest at rethinking the manager workflow. De-cluttering everyday information to get to answers fast with a clear view on where things are and how things are moving is our starting point.<p>We'd love your feedback!<p>We have over 375+ managers on our waitlist and would love to put this in the hands of all managers. We’re offering a Staat First 500 promo code to anyone who wants to try it out for free!

Show HN: Atlas – A deployment pipeline platform built on Argo CD
Atlas is an open-source deployment pipeline platform built for cloud-native applications.<p>Atlas allows users to:
- Create continuous pipelines across all their environments and clusters
- Add custom tasks/tests plugins (Python scripts, K8S manifests, Argo Workflows, environment setup, etc.)
- Automatically rollback applications in case of failure or degradation (Atlas watches the application past the scope of a pipeline run to ensure and enforce stability)
- Use all existing Argo features<p>Would love to hear all of your feedback and thoughts on this!

Show HN: Magistrate – Plaintext legal contracts for developers
I made this because I think that if contracts were written in plain text files and managed more like software, from version control to IDEs, lawyers would work more quickly and intelligently for their clients, saving them money.<p>But the entire practice of transactional law is stuck on Microsoft Word. My clients are mostly technology companies with an appetite for innovation. With their encouragement, I am moving my own legal practice away from formats like Microsoft Word and into plain text.<p>Electronic signatures of plain text contracts is the starting point for that effort. The MVP is this developer API.<p>If the reception to this product is positive, I'll continue to release the products that I build. In time, my hope is that plain text will supplant Microsoft Word in the drafting, negotiation and execution of contracts.
