Mission

Always improve your primary tool first, which is the brain, then improve your software. This requires a constant time invest on a daily basis, but it will have a positive effect on all following activities (multiplier).

There are at least ~43 vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids... It is likely that one is deficient in more than one substance. Also, if foods change from time to time, deficiencies might change. Well known samples of deficiencies: Vitamin D, Omega 3, Zinc...

All nutrients are needed for something, e.g. the activity of neurons. Improving the supply may make a big difference for general health and brain function.

        [x] we also count finance in a single app

x = can be counted with this app (manually impossible)
* = also consider: air quality, amount of sunlight, ... and so on

The problem with supplements: B12 cyanocobalamin isn't the real B12 but a cheap synthetic form, dosage while production often goes wrong and unexplored substances from food are missing. Of course it might make sense to use some supplements if you can't get enough from food. But in general food is the more natural (better) source, as long as it is free from substances like pesticides.

Long term goal

Handle all minimal daily logging in a single app as simple as possible (with as few clicks as possible). Primarily nutrients, but all that can't be handled easier.

This kind of project might be AI proof because AI solution would be: it watches you while cooking and counts the nutrients. Do you want that?

Project state

I use it on a daily basis since months, but it is still in development...

Limitations

Currently I am saving time for different projects by skipping features that I don't necessarily need.

• All multi user function like login, session, settings ...
  • a simplified version is in development where you add a new user just by adding a file sys folder
• Forms for editing all the data (can be done im yml)
• Advanced features like importing food data via smartphone cam and AI (most likely this would cost fees)

Simplifications

• No complex frameworks
• No db will be used

Currently	Nutrients

Upcoming features

High priority first

• Food concept (started)
• Track all nutrients (started)
• usability
  • Readability on mobile
• Clean up: extend app structure, write classes, ...
  • Code extensions
    • Types per day entry
  • Maybe: Basic error handling

Beside that improved app layout might be done occasionally (less important).

Advanced: extend features (finance and similar see Mission)

Full UI design see UI design

New app layout	Improved list design
