Fitbit Dashboard Mock up

I got the idea of making a Eink wall display that shows my Fitbit data. First step was to see if I could create a web app that would be loaded on that display. The Google Health API gave me a hard time for a bit because I didn't understand the way they did data "rollups" but after getting past that it was smooth sailing. I wanted to see if I could get 1 million steps in a year and I wanted to be able to track my calorie deficient overall not on a day to day basis!

I wanted to be able to do anything I wanted with the data and I still have lots of improvements to make on this but I thought you guys would find this interesting given the current state of the app.

Please let me know if you have any questions! I would love to share this but the way the Oauth works I wouldn't be able to guarantee I could keep your data 100% safe. If y'all are curious enough though I will drop the project files. Its just a python web app with an SQL DB.

I hate the Fitbit Air Alarm

I’ve found ways to avoid every other alarm I use. I can silence my phone in 0.5 seconds sometimes without even waking up! But this… it goes off for what feels like 20 seconds and I have it set to the stronger vibration setting. While it’s going off you can’t silence the damn thing. No amount of pleading with it will make it stop and if I take it off I lose my precious tracking… The worst is if I lay back down it’s like “oh you are still asleep and you are supposed to be up by 7??? Hit him again!!” Like if you don’t get up and start taking steps this thing will just keep blasting you every few minutes until your set time and it’s just wasting my battery!!!

Needed to get up by 7 am this morning and I was up at 6:40 moving around. gg Fitbit air I hate you. 11/10 would recommend. Didn’t even wake my partner up!

Why are people upset?

It might just be my experience so far and I didn't use the old Fitbit app but I've had minimal friction so far.

The biggest problem I had was I needed to plug the charger into a stronger USB-C port energy wise for it to boot the first time for setup.

Entering calories is painfully easy with the AI but I meal prep and know my measurements.

The coach has some wonkiness but to be honest MOST AI does right now. I'm used to my HW3 Tesla fucking up while driving me and I used to heavily use AI for coding back when it was just ChatGPT so maybe I have more tolerance for it.

The app just works and does everything I want so far. So I find a lot of the complaining very strange. The bugs will get patched and features will get added. I'm sure most of the anger is just from disrupting peoples routine but for me its adding a whole new one I didn't have because all I had was an Apple watch I barely used because its old and dies in 6 hours.
