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.

Many of my friends use calorie trackers like Lose it! or MyFitnessPal. And I've heard many complaints about them locking basic functionality behind a subscription. The straw that broke the camel's back was not allowing barcode scanning without a sub. I've been looking for a meaty, pun intended, side project to pick up and decided to try to do some good while saving some people money!

  • Built using Tauri in order to use Angular for the GUI and get mobile platform support.

  • Data is stored on-device using SQLite.

  • Initially I'm only targeting Android, I'd love to target iOS too but I don't own any Apple devices to dev+test on.

  • I'd say it's a "late alpha" as of right now. It has most but not all functionality, but has only been tested by me so there are likely small bugs that need to be found.

  • My wife really likes manatees, hence the name.

  • I've commissioned an artist for a logo so that should be coming by February.

Would love to hear people's thoughts! Currently you'd have to build the app yourself, though I do have an item on my to-do list to generate signed APKs via a github action. Mostly I'm just looking to start spreading the word now and hopefully get some good feature requests or bug reports. If you've read this far, thanks for your time!

Edit: I figured out how to generate signed APKs via GitHub so I have a v0.2.0 Pre-Release up. It's already led me to finding out there are some bugs on Samsung phones that don't happen on my Pixel so please submit any issues you encounter! Thank you!

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

[–] hessnake 4 points 2 months ago

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!
