Web app significantly more stable now
Sentry.io, the tool we use for monitoring the live instance of the web app, has recorded 55.4% fewer error messages in the last week compared to the four-week average. The bug fixes from the past few weeks are thus paying off. If this continues, we can soon move from alpha to beta testing.
Free translation system and additional languages for the Pantry App
Currently, we are working on a translation system for the WebApp, which will make it possible to translate the WebApp and later also the Android and iOS versions of the Pantry App into all languages worldwide. Here we are using Weblate, which replaces our old system.
Thanks to Pascal at this point, who has already integrated the system with the landing page!
Currently available are English and German, but there are plans to include more European languages as well as Russian. If you would like to help, please feel free to contact us in the support chat or send us an email, and you will be given access to the system to contribute directly.
Changes to the app now in the changelog
To better understand changes to the app and track progress, there is now a Changelog.
New blog software
In May, we set up a new blogging software for the Blog der Speisekammer App, which will make it easier to write additional articles and posts. So far, the following categories are planned: emergency preparedness, stockpiling, health, nutrition, recipes, and of course updates to the app. If you have any requests about what we should write about, we would be delighted to receive a short message!
Support for product photos
As a highlight in May, we started to enable articles to be accompanied by photos. This feature request currently has only 28 votes, but is necessary to ensure the quality of nutritional value input.
Especially with homemade items, frozen and canned goods, it becomes so much easier to identify and locate the products on the shelf or in the freezer.
This is what the whole thing looks like at the current stage of development:
New are the product images on the left side, which help to locate a product on the shelf much faster.
We are looking forward to distributing this update soon and are eager to hear your feedback!
Have a relaxing Sunday evening!
Matthias
