I'm from Western PA, and while I wouldn't say I see a lot of people calling themselves midwesterners, we're more alike than we are different. Western PA is hard to classify in terms of region. Most of us just say we're from Pittsburgh/Erie/whatever and leave it at that. But since it is hard to classify, 10% or so of us saying that we're "Midwestern" does not surprise me.
So I took a look as I'm always looking for good FOSS alternatives to apps that I use. I'm super stoked about this app! I don't have a baby to track anymore, but we are planning on kid #2, and an app that doesn't require anything is a plus.
The first thing I see that you might want to change is that the button to start/stop the feeding timer needs to be big. Like really fucking big. When I was nursing I was starting my timer one-handed and I have small hands as it is. My kid also wasn't the best at nursing, so I'd often spend a lot of time in the beginning getting him positioned/latched. I could see the "small" button being a problem.
My husband is an engineer that works in plants and factories. The last three places he's worked at were rural, or at least further from the city center. COL is typically lower in these areas, too, so lot of people get by on lower paying factory or service jobs, and as someone else said, a lot of retirees, too.
My depression and intrusive thoughts actually got worse during the redditpocalypse. But that was, at least in part, coincidental. A lot of life stress stuff started happening at the same time, and my usual coping mechanism for when things would become too much (scrolling through reddit) was seeing a rapid drop in quality. After approaching a new low, the stressful stuff started subsiding, and things are mostly better now. There are some aspects about yourself that you can't change, but you do ultimately choose how you react to, cope with, and manage these issues. I will have depression and ADHD for the rest of my life, I but I can choose to manage things in such a way (taking more time for myself, having a better diet, being more active, etc.) that these "attacks" are less frequent.
