Presidential primaries are the weird ones because they’re spread over all the states. Otherwise candidates just need to do whatever to get on the ballot(usually gather signatures) and then win the election. Parties can throw their weight behind one candidate in particular but that’s not the same as declaring a winner. AOC got into Congress by beating a party backed incumbent in a primary.

I’ve never used Macrofactor so I can’t make a great comparison, the only commercial calorie tracker I’ve used is Lose It.

Major differences would be:

The food database - I don’t know what Macrofactor uses but I use Open Food Facts and the USDA.

Manatee Fitness has zero monetization. No subscription, ads, or tracking. I never want to have access to my users data.

Macrofactor likely has a much more polished UI. I do my best but I’m far from a professional designer.

A few kind souls have offered to test an iOS build but never followed through. Please feel free to give it a shot though! There’s likely an amount of additional setup you’d have to do for iOS that I haven’t done since I have no way to build or test it. The Tauri docs will be your friend for this.

Getting it on F-droid is on the to-do list once I’m confident I don’t need to make any backwards incompatible changes going forward!

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

Due to how both Open Food Facts and USDA store data metric is actually the default!

I’d love to hear your thoughts! I’ve only got 2ish years of experience with Angular myself. I’m also using this project as an excuse to get familiar with signals so I’m better equipped to introduce them at work.

I actually shout out Waistline in the first paragraph of the README haha

On a technical level, the major differences between the two are Waistline uses Cordova and a key value DB while I use Tauri+Angular and SQLite.

On a non-technical level, I think Waistline’s UX is a bit rough around the edges. For example, when adding something to a meal Waistline will add only 1 serving and then I have to go back in and edit that. Manatee Fitness will immediately bring you to the quantity form after selecting the food to make it more seamless.

I absolutely love Waistline and appreciate the project! I just wanted to take my own crack at it with a modern framework and see if I could improve my personal pain points.

GitHub issues work for me!

The food database is initially loaded with info from the USDA! That covers generic stuff like eggs or milk. Anything new is either added manually or sourced from the Open Food Facts database which is already crowdsourced.

I’m prioritizing Google Play but after that’s settled I’m open to f-droid as well. Most of the people I know that’ll benefit from this app the most wouldn’t know how to even install f-droid.

Have you seen https://github.com/zeroxoneafour/polonium/issues/195 ?

I’ve got an A380 in my Jellyfin server and it’s a beast

I can’t speak for iOS but for Android the official app allows you to download the files but you have to watch them in another app. There’s a 3rd party app for Jellyfin that lets you download and watch in-app. It’s peak open source fragmentation.

Server transcoding is there and works great though.

Fedora Kinoite exists already. It’s my daily driver for dev and gaming and works great for me.

I started learning Go about 3 months ago and it quickly became one of my favorite languages. It feels like C with a bunch of Python niceties thrown in. And performance isn’t super critical in my work so being garbage collected is fine with me.

I’ve switched between Plasma, Cosmic, Sway, and Hyprland without any conflicts. For the Plasma 5->6 transition it did change my config in a way that broke Plasma 5 when I rolled back, so problems are possible.

Basically your mileage may vary.

hledger actually seems like it’ll fit my use case rather well. Thanks for mentioning it!

A budget app. I’m tired of all the good ones being web apps that spy on you. Multiple accounts, recurring expenses, ability to set goals, there’s a lot of features you can implement (or not) depending on how far you take it.

Currently I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onetwoapps.mh which gets the job done but I want similar functionality outside of android.

Great game but you need to go in with the expectation of a Devil May Cry-like and not a traditional Final Fantasy. If that doesn’t sound like fun, this should probably be a skip.
