Hi all! Since my last post I’ve been hard at work on Manatee Fitness. I polished the core functionality and ended up feature creeping myself. I wasn’t intending to add weight tracking or goal calculations but once I got into a groove I just kept going.
The most exciting part is that I finally have a real icon!
Beyond that, I figured out how to build an APK via github actions so now anyone willing to give the app a try is able to easily download and install it! I welcome any feedback from users. One important thing to keep in mind before trying it out is that it is currently focused on foods available in the US. I want to eventually expand the scope to more countries but I’ll get to that once I have a stable release.
I’m also happy to take any contributions from the community! I have issues written up for all the bugs and new features on my current roadmap to the first stable release.
And finally, I want to give a shoutout to the 2 existing foss apps in this space that I know of:
My competitive drive to one up them is a huge reason I made as much progress on Manatee Fitness as I have.
This is why getting more people to test is good! On both my phone and my wife’s nothing is cutoff so I haven’t run into these UI issues before.
The g for grams being all over the place is actually a bit intentional. For the nutrients it’s a label that can’t be changed which is why it’s right aligned and grey. Serving amount is just a string so it could be anything. Serving quantity the g is actually a button to convert to different units which is why it looks different.
I understand that the overall UX is probably the weakest part of the app. I’m more of a backend engineer that dabbles in frontend haha
