Episode Description from the Publisher

Kaya Thomas (kayathomas.is) comes back after half a decade to tell us about how motherhood inspired her new app Milk Diary (milkdiary.com). She talks about using new APIs like Foundation Models, SpeechAnalyzer, and AlarmKit to handle the complex stuff other  feeding apps miss: intelligent scheduling and reminders, combo feeding that's actually easy to track, hassle-free tracking for twins and smart milk management.GuestKaya ThomasKaya Thomas (@kayathomas@mastodon.social) - MastodonKaya (@kayathomas.is) — Blueskykmt901 (Kaya Thomas)Kaya Thomas | LinkedInKaya Thomas (@kayathomas.is) • Threads, Say moreMilk Diary AppRelated LinksRob Napier - TIL:AI.
