Working on a free eczema tracking app and need 12 people to join as Android testers for two weeks to get past Google's closed testing requirement. Tried asking around but Android testers are hard to come by.
If anyone's willing to help, I'd really appreciate it, and happy to test yours back too if you need the same.

SkinFam is a private, calm diary for tracking eczema and skin, logging flares, triggers, sleep, mood, and photos, with switchable profiles so a parent can track their own skin and their kids' too. Everything stays on your phone, no accounts, no ads, nothing sold.
I built it after years of not finding a tracking app that felt calm instead of clinical, I have eczema myself. It's already live on the App Store, and I'm working through Google's required closed testing before it can go public on Android too.
I need a handful of 12 real people willing to install it, use it for a bit, and tell me honestly what works and what doesn't, especially anything confusing.
Takes about 2 minutes if you want to help:
Really appreciate it 🦘
I built SkinFam because I've had eczema since I was a kid and never found a tracking app that felt calm instead of clinical. It's a private daily diary for skin, mood, sleep, and triggers, with separate profiles so a parent can track their own skin and their kids' too. Everything stays on your phone, no accounts, no ads, no selling data.
It's free. Not a medical app, just a personal journal.
I'm looking for 12+ people willing to install it, open it a few times, and give honest feedback over the next couple weeks, this is for Google Play's required closed testing period before I can launch publicly.
Comment or DM me and I'll send you the join link. Really appreciate any help.
I have a background in social work and mental health, not tech, but I couldn't find an eczema diary that felt calm and simple instead of cluttered, so I taught myself to build one.
It tracks flares, triggers, sleep, and lets you switch between profiles if you're tracking for yourself and a kid. Free, no accounts, no ads, everything stays on your phone.
Would love genuine feedback, especially if anything feels confusing or cluttered since I built this mostly solo.
Genuine question: what's actually worked for you? Looking for real holy-grail products, moisturizer, body wash, laundry detergent, anything, not guesses, just what's genuinely helped your skin. Trying to put together an honest list based on what real people actually use, not what brands say.
SkinFam is a free iOS app for tracking eczema and sensitive skin, for yourself or your kids. Log flares, spot triggers, see patterns over time. No accounts, no ads, everything stays on your phone.
Built it solo. I'm a social worker by background, not a developer, so I'm sure there's plenty I'm blind to. Already got called out once for the home screen feeling cluttered (fair, probably true), so don't hold back.
Things I'm genuinely unsure about:

Genuinely want the honest, unfiltered version, not the polite one.

Would love any feedback, happy to answer questions about how it works.
I've had eczema most of my life and never had a good way to actually track it, just scattered notes I could never look back on. So I decided to just try building the thing I wished existed.
My background is social work (Master's in mental health and substance use), not tech. I had zero coding experience going in. I taught myself enough to design, build, and ship a real iOS app, completely solo, leaning on Claude Code to get from idea to shipped product.
SkinFam is a private eczema and skin diary: log flares, spot triggers, and see your patterns over time. No accounts, no ads, nothing ever leaves your phone. I also built the entire go-to-market myself, content, social, SEO, all of it, with zero budget.
It's live and free right now. Would genuinely love feedback, especially from anyone else who's non-technical and figuring this out as they go.
Hi everyone. I'm based in Australia and travelling to Bali soon, and I'm a bit nervous about how my skin will handle it. I've had eczema my whole life. Australia gets hot, sure, but I've never spent a long stretch somewhere as tropical and humid as Bali.
A few questions for anyone who's been:
Would really love any experiences or tips. Thank you!
Hello everyone. Some of you might remember my post about a cotton dress sample I designed. Honest update: working with a manufacturer wasn't right for me. The sample needed too many adjustments and I realised I'd rather make things myself with full control. Knitting has been my actual craft since I was 12 (I'm 25 now, so 13 years in), and it's where I want to spend the rest of my life. The dress was a detour. Knitting is the path.
So I'm back to where I always was. I'm a knitwear designer based in Brisbane, originally from Norway, working on a vintage Brother KH900 machine and by hand.
Now I have a new question I'd love this community's input on. Does wool knitwear actually make sense in Australia, or am I designing for a country I no longer live in?
My current thinking is that wool is wrong for the heat of the day, but right for everything around the heat. The breeze after a swim, when you're damp and the wind is cool. The walk back from the beach as the sun drops. The aircon in offices and shops that's set for someone else. Mountain trips, Tasmanian holidays. Mild winters. Travel layering.
So I've been making lightweight 4-ply wool pieces designed for those moments. The pictured sweater is one, a Fair Isle in sage green and cream. I've also been working in lighter knit dresses.
Genuinely curious:
• Do you wear wool knitwear in Australia at all? In what contexts?
• Does this "knitwear for around the heat, not in the heat" framing make sense?
• What would actually make wool knitwear work for your life here?
Trying to make pieces people actually wear. Any honest opinions appreciated.
