Wrote a thing about my app nobody uses except me going away, and the reasons why I wrote it - namely that the Apple Watch is awful for weight loss. https://joebaldwin.me.uk/blog/sunsetting-budgie-diet/ #iOSDev #Apple #AppleWatch
Sunsetting Budgie Diet (and why the Apple Watch sucks)

My diet app, Budgie Diet, is being sunsetted, because I’ve decided that despite my best efforts, the Apple Watch is just a terrible, no-good device for weight loss, and I am switching (back) to Android and a Pixel Watch, and specifically the FitBit ecosystem. My reason for this is simple: it should not be up to me, some rando, to fix one of the most glaring feature holes in the Apple Watch given its position as a fitness device. And I cannot really justify continued effort on this when I could simply focus on the thing I actually care about - losing weight - rather than trying to hack together something that works nowhere near as well as Fitbit.

@j0ebaldw1n the only thing the Apple Watch is good for was when my sleeping heart rate was dangerously low. Had some tests done and my TSH level was really bad so adjusted my meds. Doesn’t track sleep properly. Also fed up of it burning my wrist.
