# 📖 Tia — Origin Story
> *Reconstructed inference — confirm/rewrite. Nothing here is asserted as fact.*

## The likely origin (inferred)
Tia is a **baby-tracking app** built by someone who ships fast and solves his own problems ([[Credit Analyzer]] for his finances, [[Whisper Hotkey]] for his workflow). The most parsimonious explanation: **Manohar became a parent**, found existing trackers lacking, and built the tool he wanted — then generalised it into a SaaS with family circles and billing.

Evidence pointing this way:
- Deep, opinionated feature set (feeds/diapers/sleep/vaccinations/growth/memories) — the lived problem of a new parent
- **Family circles** — built for *his* family to share, then opened up
- The name **"Tia"** — likely personal/meaningful (a child's name? a term of endearment?)

## ✍️ Confirm the real story
- [ ] Did becoming a parent trigger Tia? When?
- [ ] What does **"Tia"** mean / who is it named after?
- [ ] What existing app frustrated you enough to build your own?
- [ ] First "this has to exist" moment?
