Next Version of OnTrack

Wednesday, September 02, 2009

Sorry for no updates for the last month, work has been pretty busy the last few weeks and I haven't had time to get to everything on my list. Having said that, I do have a new version of OnTrack in the pipes that I am planning on releasing towards the end of the week and I thought it would be good to post some information about the forthcoming changes.

This change is largely focused on improving the useability and look of the application by cleaning up some of the details I missed on the last release. Here is a list of the changes I have made so far:

• Prompt the user on first load to use mmo/l or mg/dl measurements
• Added an option to view home screen by day in addition to weekly and monthly options
• I did some work on the graphs to make them more attractive
• Reworked the preferences and home screen filter as seperate menu items
• Moved the management of categories and subtypes to preferences from the home screen menu
• Added support for exporting to XML
• Added "id" field to XML export for synchronization purposes
• Add supported for showing and hiding lines in graph so it can appear as a plot graph
• Added a pie chart for showing number of glucose values in range
• Fixed a few miscellaneous bugs
• Added a graph to show the total number of carbs consumed per day
• Added a report showing the average amount of carbs consumed per category
• New on-line help pages with in-program menu option, view current state here.

So has you can see nothing earth shattering but I do plan on adding a couple of key features in the near future as follows:

• Add the ability to add different entry types on the same screen. For example, allow a user to enter a glucose and medication entry at the same time to make data entry more efficient.
• Add a report that shows a monthly view of glucose entries at a glance
• Support graphing multiple items simultaneously and create a graph showing glucose values against medication
• Support graphing for medication

Anyways, work progresses so look for the new version later this week. Here are some screenshots showing the changes in appearance along with the new pie chart.
