I got into scuba diving a year ago and every dive you're supposed to log data about the dive like duration, location, type of air etc. It's partly for safety, partly for curiosity, and partly to prove that you are as experienced as you say you are for advanced trips. It seems like 75% of people use paper booklets, 5% a myriad of shitty apps and the rest (like me) don't bother logging because it's so tedious. So I'm p…

Have you looked at subsurface? The author is somewhat famous. https://subsurface-divelog.org/
And you can definitely tell linus made it. The UI is very... engineer-y and not simple at all

#105Built 100% on JavaScript, using node, express, prisma, tailwind and unpoly.
Just invested a weekend and a couple more hours after work this week, so not many features and not well tested yet, but works.

#106It's a backend-less SPA, inspired by draw.io.
Product perspective: I was using MyFitnessPal previously and got tired of all the bloat in the app. Weight Logger does exactly one thing and keeps you in charge of your data. I plan to add integrations with Dropbox, OwnCloud, Google Drive and Office 365.
Developer perspective: For work I mostly do web apps where every inch of the (desktop) screen is covered with numbers and buttons. We churn out features and try to squeeze as much information on the screen as we can. In contrast, Weight Logger is about simplicity and working well on mobile devices. It's also the first time in my career that I get to use my own app every morning. Surprisingly this gives me warm fuzzies about programming. I was at a point where I was starting many different hobbies (electronics, 3D printing, woodworking...) to escape somewhat emotionally dry world of software development. In day to day business we value pragmatism more than code we're really proud of. Feature requests come in before development is complete on the previous one. Weight Logger reminds me every day that it doesn't have to be that way and that I can still find positive experiences within software engineering.

#109My goal is to learn SwiftUI and explore new technologies.
The app is now open source on GitHub as well, it's my way to give back to the community as I was learning it. [3]
Feedback welcome!
