Shrinking Man 0.1 - A Diet Tracking Application

General
General

I just finished the first release Shrinking Man, an application for tracking your weight and the calories consumed each day. It integrates well with the GNOME desktop environment. Following the GNOME HIG as closely as possible was one of the objectives, even if there are still some known issues - the window title is one example.

Shrinking Man provides an easy interface: If you are the only user just pop up the application and start editing, but it has also support for multiple profiles if you wish.

Things on the TODO list are:

* Visualization of the history. I might do this as soon as a working Plot widget for Python makes it's way into Breezy.
* Profiles currently consist of files. A more user-friendly approach will likely be implemented.

Requirements
------------
* Python 2.4 or greater
* pyxml 0.8 or greater
* pygtk 2.8.0 or greater
* pygnome 2.8 or greater

Web App

They already are and are more sophisticated and free to use. (No, they haven't released their code, they make advertising money.)

Both these services provide calorie tracking, meal planning, integrated USDA database, activity/excersise calculations, reports, goals, etc. etc.
