Loops
A web app for counting things over time. It makes no calls to outside websites
and all data lives in localStorage.
Designed for use from the home screen on an iPhone but also works in desktop browsers.
Why
I wanted a general purpose tracker for quantitative data over time to create small-friction feedback loops. Everything else was either overpriced, too complex, or had no visualization mechanism.
Code
The source is HTML, CoffeeScript, and SASS.
There are no images used (besides the app icon).
All fonts are from Google Web Fonts.
3rd Party
- d3.js
- Zepto.js
- Backbone.js
- Underscore.js
- Backbone.localStorage(slightly modified)
- Moment.js
- Mustache.js
- Grunt.js
Developing
All development takes place on the master branch. I use
LiveReload and highly recommend it. It should pick up
the script tag in index.haml and live compile the source as you change it.
To fire up a server, on OS X you can execute the common python -m SimpleHTTPServer in the terminal located at this directory. Find your IP
address with ifconfig and then just go to localhost:8000 or whatever the
IP:port is on your iOS device (or browser).
