I am really excited to make this announcement today!

Do you all remember this post?

A year ago, this post sparked quite the debate in our Reddit community. I made a pitch to change the Fat Target Bar colour that day, and today I'm excited to share that it's been implemented!

But that's not all... wait, there's more.

We're also introducing a new logo (oooo... ahhh...!) along with several other meaningful updates:

More Neutral Fat Visualizations 

Fat is an essential nutrient. Certain visual treatments could unintentionally resemble warning indicators, even when users were simply reviewing their data. 

Updated visualizations now use more balanced, brand-aligned color systems that support objective interpretation while maintaining clarity. 

Improved Saturated and Trans Fat Target Logic 

Some nutrients previously defaulted to targets of 0g, which could create confusing visual feedback. 

Updated target logic better reflects nutritional context while still allowing users to customize targets based on their personal goals.

Clearer "No Target" States 

Not every nutrient tracked in Cronometer has an established recommended intake target. 

Components such as cholesterol, oxalate, alcohol, and insoluble fiber don’t currently have official Dietary Reference Intake targets. Those nutrients are labeled No Target because there isn’t a universally established goal to compare against. 

The updated experience makes it easier to distinguish between: 

• No value logged 
• Value logged without an established target 
• Value logged with a target

 

I hope this update shows just how much we truly do value your feedback. Many of the improvements we make come directly from these conversations with our community - you help shape the future of Cronometer every day.

Thanks for being the best users on the planet! 🧡

A few weeks ago, we hit 17 million users at Cronometer!

Most people don't know this, but when we hit 7 million users, I started a little tradition: I run the same number of kilometers as the number of millions of users we've reached, I've kept it going ever since.

So, as tradition goes, I laced up my shoes and ran 17 km to celebrate. The weather had other plans and it poured the entire time, but that didn't stop a group of coworkers from joining me. It was the first time anyone from the team had come along, and it made the run way more fun!

I just wanted to send a huge thank you to this community for being part of the journey. This group of anonymous people on the interwebs has truly been a highlight of my career! So, whether you've been with us since the early days or just started tracking, we're incredibly grateful you're here and helping us reach milestones like this.

Let's see how long my legs can handle this... LOL! Can't wait for the next 18kms!

We're getting all warmed up for tomorrow’s AMA.
