I built a self-hosted period tracker because I couldn't find one worth using - Lemmy.World

My wife needed a cycle tracker. Everything out there was either Flo (which got sued twice for sharing health data) or an abandoned GitHub project. So I built Ovumcy. Single Go binary, SQLite, Docker-ready. No analytics, no third-party APIs, no cloud. Your data stays on your server. Features: period tracking, symptom logging, predictions (ovulation, fertile window), statistics, CSV/JSON export, dark mode, Russian and English. Just pushed v0.2.5. Looking for feedback from real users.

I was going to recommend this to someone I know but when I realised your readme.md is entirely AI-generated, I guess the whole project is probably vibe-coded. I can’t in good conscience recommend someone trust their health data to a vide-coded app because they tend to have security problems.

Also all ai-generated code is public domain so your AGPL license is kinda empty. Might as well use MIT.

I do use AI tools while developing this project, but I also have a BSc in Computer Science. AI is a productivity tool.

Security is something I take seriously, especially since the project deals with health data. All code has test and you’re welcome to inspect the repository yourself or point out any specific security concerns if you notice them.

Regarding licensing: the AGPL license applies to the project as a whole regardless of the tools used to write parts of the code.

If you have concrete technical feedback or security issues, I’d genuinely appreciate it.

How does AI help with productivity? I’ve gotten so many false answers that I quit trusting it

They are tools like any other, it's how you use them that matters.

No, they’re tools different from any other due to their nondeterministic nature. That, coupled with hallucinations, are the big differences that make me automatically dismiss anything using these tools.

All sounds a bit Greek to me. Free will vs determinism with a splash of Aristotle's distaste for contradiction.

Machine learning powers the cancer drugs that keep me alive, modern banking systems and the chess and rogue like apps I've been using since the 80's.

Wasn't long ago Gutternberg's devilry was ruining the world and destroying art and creativity, now peeps treating it like Hersiod's ages of God's & Heroes.
