First, congratulations, hamaluik. This especially made me smile because I went through a similar experience - in the early 2000s, inspired by kids’ births I had the itch to evolve the manual process of a 'game' with our extended family—gathering/compiling their guesses at a name and other birth stats.
So I designed a free (and no ads) web app[0] for me and so others could automat their own pools.
It also has “bebe” in the app name :)
Just as an historical point: There were just two other 'baby pool' type web apps on The Internet at the time (2003~2005). One of those two disappeared a few years ago. This was before conventional wisdom would be that facebook integration was a prerequisite for mass audience success for this kind of app. I was never interested in hitching my wagon to FB or any other third party. I’m happy it’s an independent piece of old school web 1.5 / 2.0 that still kicking a decade and a half later. I hope your app has a long life as well.
Anyway, cheers!
