Updated filter icons

Getting some feedback that the current filter on/off icon is easy to miss, which I agree to, has hit me already as well. Hence here’s a modified design which changes the icon more visibly and also adds a counter to reflect how many filters are active. (time+tag+comment)

Let me know what you think.

Fitness Tracker

MediLog supports 3rd party apps sending links to the MediLogs Diary section so you can relate your physical activities to other topics you are tracking.

We try to extract as much data as possible from such links but are dependant on what the vendor shares.

New release v3.6.5

New MediLog release v3.6.5 is available as of now.

No major bugs to fix, main reason for this release is the push by Google to add my developer code so the FOSS flavours of MediLog can still be installed after Google locks down sideloading. See here https://keepandroidopen.org/ for more details.

Upcoming Release 3.6.5 - ready to test

Aside from a few bug fixes it comes with a few new small features such as

  • QuickEdit: Activate first input field when tab is selected with a double click to speed up data entry
  • !QuickEdit: Activate first input field when a new record is added to speed up data entry
  • tag support for blood-pressure and oxygen tabs
  • …and with the Google developer hash that I am forced to add to allow my FOSS apps to remain install able once the new Google developer registration kicks in 😒

Click here to get to the pre-release. Give it a spin and let me know if you find something not working as expected.

Automated tests

After much back and forth I finally bit the bullet and started to implement automated tests for #MediLog. This always felt like I had to write the app a second time, and it is close to it. But after completing ~10 tests I start to see the value, especially in corners I don’t use myself and hence may get less testing in subsequent releases.

New website

Moved all MediLog content from my home page to this dedicated web presence. Added this blog and plan to crosspost newsworthy topics here (supporting RSS) and on the Fediverse.

The whole page is still work in progress but let me know what you think.
