Meet Dadaa! It’s an app for busy fathers that gamifies simple activities with their kids, to make sure every moment counts. And that spent time together is meaningful and fun for both. Built 100% on Replit so far. (update Nov 2025: now here: https://www.dadaa.app/ )
Available for all ages, but for now the most suited for ages up to 3 years. If this app resonates with you, I’d love to have you test it and share feedback with me.
(Note: also built daily mood tracker with the latest update)
I came up with the idea as I was often exhausted at the end of the day before having time to spend with the kids. And that sometimes makes it very hard to come up with cool ideas what to do together… as stupid as it sounds. It’s helping me now and I’m getting some good feedback from early users too (along with a number of suggestions how to improve it further).
Hope everyone’s having a blast Blown away by the capabilities of the Agent.
I tested the full UI redesign with Agent and it went pretty well – only minor tweaks were necessary afterwards. Albeit Dadaa is not the biggest app, it felt magcal.
Also, I did improve the streak (gamification) logic, albeit I have found it very tricky. I have spent weeks working on it and there are still some little things to finish. Perhaps anyone have experience/tipswith it?
Still looking for anyone interested using Dadaa for themselves (their kids)
Thank you so much for the well wishes. Hope you and the family are doing awesome
Yes, Google signing is very much requested from other users too. I will look to implement it next - any tips? I understand you did them with Replit as well? Feels it could be tricky, so any info would help.
Love this! I totally feel you in the struggle to come up with fun ideas after a long day of work, so your app addresses a real pain point.
Once quick piece of feedback: I’d love to be able to click on one of the daily changes to get more details and/or examples.
Like the “Number Games: Play counting games with everyday objects. Develops basic math concepts.” I’m not sure how to do a “counting game” so I’d like further instructions.
Keep it up!
Also, would love your feedback on my app if you’re willing: Virtuist. As a father, I wanted a gamified way to study and practice virtues with my son as he grows up.
For most age groups I have tips there. Have you seen a lightbulb icon on the challenge and have clicked it?
I think they can be further improved, just checking if you notice them at all (perhaps I need to make them more visible)
@virtuist question for you as well - did you have the lightbulb there? My mistake is not having put in all the data for all age groups, I have focused on newborns mostly.
Virtuist looks awesome. Seems similar gamification system as my app. Hope you were able to implement it easier than me
There should be lightbulbs next to the ‘‘Complete’’ button Thank you for reporting this (It was only for older age groups).
The tips do not tell you everything, but more like hints to some stuff.
Could you let me know how useful they are to you?
And if you have any activity ideas for this age group that you haven’t seen here yet, that’d be awesome too (but if not, don’t bother).
i looked again… now they are there. did u made an update?
anyhow… nice
Still thats where i see huge potential… extend this feature.
i made several games with my girl with data i got from ai.
Like a chat that ask us questions to topic xyz
May suggestion is to add a popup where a user gets in contact with ai
and gets exactly told what done… either an instruction from the ai for game… or even an interaction with the ai itself.
I had an issue fixed so you probably did not miss anything
Multiple people seem to be asking for certain examples, I might explore it.
Good point about the content spilling, thank you!
For Virtuist, my kids are a bit younger for this, so not sure how much I can give in terms of feedback, but I can see it being used to get discussion topics going for kids 6+ years.
Blown away by the capabilities of the Agent.
