It integrates childcare log management and information dissemination into an app. It would be easy to expand horizontally, but I feel that if there is only one model, all the rest could be used, and I have a perverse view that if there is any point in making it an app, it would be for PUSH notifications.

It will be difficult because the administrative structure is vertically divided, but it would be convenient in many ways if there is one application that functions as a mother-child handbook anywhere in the country and it is provided free of charge, and each municipality can register their own nivent and subscribe only to the ones they are interested in.
