Fitness Tracker
Full-stack developer · June 2025 – August 2025
A multi-screen calorie tracking web app with a REST API for logging and editing meals.
Curious how it's built? Try cat architecture.json
Problem
Wanted a simple, friendly way to log and track daily calorie intake without the bloat of a full commercial fitness app.
Constraints
- Multi-screen flow needed to stay simple and fast for daily use
- Team project — needed clean version control and coordinated testing
Decisions
- Built RESTful API endpoints in Express for adding, editing, and viewing meals, backed by SQLite.
- Kept the UI modular across screens for friendly, uncluttered navigation.
- Used GitHub for version control and coordinated system testing across the team.
What I'd do differently
Next step would be per-user auth so tracking data is scoped per person, plus a simple weekly-trends view on top of the logged meals.
