I seem to read somewhere some time back that software developers generally go about solving some problem that frustrates them daily… and in the process come out with a BIG BANG project. Hmmm.. is it possible that this “Scratching The Itch” phenomenon is one of the easiest way to develop truly solid products, i.e. over the conventional business plan with market forecasts, etc….
I can understand the itch. It is something that you are exposed to… and greatly irritates you.
Currently, I am in a FAT-FIGHTING phase of my life… and I guess… a lot of my blogs will be about such health issues. I am currently using a online portal to track my workouts and nutrition – http://www.gyminee.com. It works kind of fine save for a few problems:
- Does not allow me to key the details of my workout through an iphone/mobile app (pretty impt as iphone is like the defacto exercising companion nowadays)
- It lacks local data for the nutrition segment. Hmmm… wouldn’t it be great if the nutrition segment can tap of HPB’s vast repository of nutritional information… all localized with the average Singaporean in mind? – http://www.hpb.gov.sg/hpb/default.asp?pg_id=993
- Integration to Social Networking Sites… so that you can get your friends to be involved in exercising, dieting and living a truly healthy lifestyle!
Hmmm… I am itchy….. but do I have enough hands to actually scratch my itch?
