Your Weight Please

   I have a Fitbit tracker and there are few things that don't quite work for me. This is my weekend project to try and fix the annoyances.

   Specifically, while I remember to weigh every morning, I tend to forget to actually log the weight. This little contraption will be sending me an email asking for a weight, and I will be able to log it by simply replying to the email. It will also keep an eye on few other things as per the copy in the shot.

   This shot is a first pass over the main page, see the larger view.

   If I manage to complete the project, which is not guaranteed by any means, I will release it as a free service (free of ads or any other gimmicks). Updates are via you know what, follow if interested. Also follow this guy (it's a long story).

   I like the idea a lot. Here's an option for you, go buy the Fitbit Aria weight scale, step on it daily and it will sync it to your profile without an input. And use this guy's app for your Fitbit trackers battery notifs. :)

   @Kerem - I know of Aria, alright. The problem is that it's still not shipping. I also want to test this whole over-email-updating idea. What could possibly be easier and faster than hitting a Reply, typing something in and clicking Send? And, it also makes me to respond to other's initiatIve rather than being an initiator myself. Great for lazy asses... of whom there's plenty :)

   Introducing a concept of "followware"

   I hereby claim the copyright to the term followware. It's a wild experiment, but if it works, it'll be really something.

   (edit) HNers - the copyright claim is a joke.
