Quick Calories – Efficient Weight Loss for Software Engineers

I faced a sudden career twist recently and I used it as motivation to revisit and improve Quick Calories, an app that helps software engineers quickly track their daily calorie intake. The original idea was born out of my own struggle to find a dieting app that fit my style - something that allowed me to quickly log calories without tedious manual entry. And now, I'm excited to share Quick Calories with HN!

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

I faced a sudden career twist recently and I used it as motivation to revisit and improve Quick Calories, an app that helps software engineers quickly track their daily calorie intake. The original idea was born out of my own struggle to find a dieting app that fit my style - something that allowed me to quickly log calories without tedious manual entry. And now, I'm excited to share Quick Calories with HN! What is Quick Calories? - A minimalist app that makes calorie tracking lightning fast. - It keeps a running calorie total and automatically resets daily. Just track your intake and move on with your life. - The math-friendly input lets you perform arithmetic operations on calorie counts, making it easier to log complex meals or snacks. As someone who spends hours staring at screens, I know how hard it is to prioritize health when work-life balance feels like an oxymoron. Quick Calories can be an indispensable tool for a busy software engineer. I'd love to see more software engineers using Quick Calories to improve their health and I'm excited to continue improving and expanding the app based on your feedback. Let me know what you think!

    Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
