Yes, I agree, and I think that basic functionality should be a priority and thereafter the app can be refined or developed further.

@jitusj
similar to the bodyspace work out template on www.bodybuilding.com? That is quite nifty to have.

@aspidites
you have a lot of support on this one

* Load Workout (One big list to load pre-saved workouts)
* Edit Workout (Edit pre-saved workouts)
[EDIT: Load+Edit can be merged into "VIEW WORKOUT, then you long click on them to > Load OR Edit OR view]
No need for the load/Edit menu buttons. The way I see it, once in the Workouts window (see previous post), clicking on a listed workout would "load" it. Once in that workout's window, there would be an "Edit" option. Additionally, long-pressing on a workout name would allow you to select from view, edit, or delete. Also, mutliple workouts could be deleted by selecting "Delete Workouts" from the workouts window's menu.

* View all (Could be merged with 'Edit Exercises', just on big list?
Same as above with workouts. As for exporting, I'm going to be using CSV format so that they can easily be imported into excel worksheets as requested earlier in this thread. BTW, I personally can't stand XML -- way to many brackets and levels of nesting.

Totally forgot about "equipment needed" so thanks for mentioning it.

Again, see above (noticing a pattern?

Not displayed in the screenshots, but I was thinking of these:
  • Foods: each food has nutrition info, food groups, etc.
  • Meals: each meal is made up of foods (duh)
  • Meal Plan: Each meal plan is a schedule of meals (organized by day like a calendar
I haven't given much thought into nutrition otherwise. I was going to name Meal Plan diets, but I figured similar naming would help people make the association. Plus, people who are trying to gain weight might think diet is only for people who are trying to lose it.

What do you guys reckon? I think we should start a proper flow-chart before diving into anything?
Not really any comments on this except that I was hoping to make this section flexible enough to allow users to create their own reports -- no promises though. As for diving in...I've kind of already done so. Planning is always a good idea, but programming is a hobby and this isn't that large of a program. That isn't to say that I think flow-charting is a bad idea-- just that I won't be doing it . If it makes you feel any better, I did sketch out a few things with pen and paper.

(Eg June, 25th 2010, Workout "ABS 1")
Yeah, nothing mentioned about the calendar/today widget is high priority right now. Perhaps I should update the OP periodically so that you all know where my priorities lie?

Yeh no problems I was just trying to compile a list of features to include, to get an overview of the whole thing! I guess we keep adding features as we go along, that would be your course of action I assume?

If you need any help, let me know. Studying Graphic Design atm, so logo design etc, no problemo! Just hit me up.

Icons I will need in order of importance:
  • launch icon
  • icons for fitness, nutrition, and reporting, and calendar
  • icons for target areas
The only thing really needed for version 0.1.0 is the launch icon. Everything else can be added way later.

Since you are using Python and QT maybe you can write it as a cross-platform application?

How handy would it be to plug the n900 into your PC then run the PC version of your app. You could take advantage of the extra screen space?

Probably not a priority feature even if you could design your app with this in mind.

Just the ramblings of a burnt-out programmer...

@johnel: Seems interesting, but certaintly not a priority. I expect that it would come after a v1.0 release. Reason being two-fold:
This version leverages some Maemo5 specific things which aren't available on desktops.
This version is touch-screen optimized.

While both of these issues individually are easy enough to address, together they mean I would have to develop a seperate interface (I've got a pretty good idea of how a desktop version would look). I'll update the roadmap to reflect my stance on this as not to forget about it though.

Actually, I'm going to reread the thread and add my stance on all features there.

@Haus3r: Thanks. No rush though, so take your time. I'm sure your crappiest icons will be infinitely better than anything I'd consider my best :-)

Meant to reply to this earlier: Those screenshots are uber tiny, so I can't really see them. Perhaps attach a larger version, or give a direct link to the app?
