  • I agree, but I also think we need to be aware of what we agree to when entering service agreements. Certainly for something like an ISP for which there is often a monopoly there may not be much of a choice, but even when you do have a choice, how often do you actually read what you’re agreeing to? We have the option to try to vote with our wallets, but instead we’ve collectively just continued to sign up for services that have arbitration agreements. If companies see only token resistance to such contracts then they’re not going to be deterred.









  • Ok, I can import the file now, but some entries are getting messed up. This line, for example, shows up in the diary with the amount “NaNg · 722903 kcal”. And as much as I would like to eat Ginger Peanut Chicken until numbers fail to describe my gluttony, I just can’t afford that many calories.

    Also, there’s a bit of layout weirdness when reimporting days:





  • I have exports of my nutrition and weight info from other apps as csv files, and I’d like to import that data if I can. It looks like Nutritrace can export to csv but not import that. There is the option to import from a json backup though. If I can massage my data into that json format, does it seem reasonable to use that as a way to import my historical data?

    If the answer isn’t “omg don’t do that”, then I have a couple of questions about the json:

    • Does each item in the diary array require a matching foodList/meals/recipes entry? Or could I just generate items in the diary array?
    • How much do I need to worry about IDs? The “import JSON” option says that it merges with existing data; how would it handle ID conflicts (which I assume could happen normally when exporting and importing anyway)?
    • Are there any gotchas you can think of that I should watch out for?
