Hi, I'm Steve and I've built this mobile app to solve my very long-standing problem of not consistently using any calorie tracking apps due to the poor UX (many clicks, too much friction).

So, although I am not the best UI/UX designer, I have tried to remove friction at every corner with Journable. This applies to the

1. Tracking experience: Chat-based interface (think ChatGPT) to log food/exercise 2. Onboarding experience: No login screen, no measurements or goals, straight to the main chat window 3. Photo entries: Just take a picture of your plate and done

That said, I'm not the best UI/UX designer so I would really appreciate any feedback on the app, and I welcome any and all comments & suggestions. Should I make it easier? Faster? Simpler? Does it need more color? Keen to hear it all!

Hello all,

I have been working as a software engineer for 3 years now, and I am happy with how much better I have become in that time period. However, I do have one issue that seems to be a constant with me: When I open PRs, I tend to have small misses or tiny changes that always need to be fixed. What I mean is missing something like adding a parameter for logging that all other similar functions of this type have, or doing something in a slightly more complicated way because I am reinventing the wheel when our code base already has something to use that I just couldn't find.

This hasn't been mentioned by a manager or anything, but I can tell compared to the other engineers on my team, I find myself making those mistakes more. I realize to some degree, some of that is inevitbale, but I do feel like my PRs have more than I should.

I am wondering what type of habits all you use when starting a ticket. Should I be asking as many questions as possible during planning so I know everything about the ticket before I start? Should I be having a long planning phase before even writing code?

Any advice is helpful, thanks
