Nervous to share this, but I built a free browser-based baby monitor — would love honest feedback
Hi everyone,
I’m honestly a little nervous posting this, so please bear with me.
Over some evenings and weekends I built BabyPhone.online — a free web app that turns two devices (old phones, tablets, whatever you have lying around) into a baby monitor. One becomes the “baby unit,” the other the “parent unit,” you connect them with a short room code or QR, and after that the video and audio go directly between the two devices in the browser — no app to install, no account, and nothing gets stored on a server.
Its ment to work with all browsers, OS systems and devices.
I’m not a professional designer, and it’s just me working on this in my spare time, so I’m very aware there are probably things that don’t make sense yet or could be a lot better. I’d genuinely appreciate it if a few of you could take a quick look and tell me:
• Does the setup (room code / QR) feel clear on the first try, or is any part confusing?
• Would you feel comfortable actually trusting this with your own baby?
• Is there anything about the privacy or security side that would worry you?
• Anything that feels missing, unnecessary, or just off?
Please don’t hold back to spare my feelings — I’d honestly rather hear the hard truths now than find out later. Thank you to anyone who takes the time, it really does mean a lot.
