New features for My Weight Tracker
My Weight Tracker is the tool that I built to monitor my own weight loss progress. I wanted something independent of the calorie counting and other health apps that I use, where I could keep a log of my weight loss journey and own my data.
One of the features I thought was missing, although I want the app to be as lightweight as possible, is a way to share your stats - amongst friends, coaches, your social media audience etc.
I'm road testing a 'Share Your Stats' feature, which is currently live in the footer of the app. It generates an Instagram-sized image that includes:
- Current Weight
- Weight Loss to Date or % Lost to Date
- Average Loss Per Week
- Overall Goal Progress
This are my live stats that I shared this week:
As well as having the option to share my stats on my socials, I think this is also a great marketing tool for the app. Word of mouth is important as the app is available free, so there's no real budget behind it.
I'm looking forward to seeing people share their stats, and how they use the app as it continues to gain traction.
