Version 1.2

Hopefully some helpful new features in this update, as well as a mini redesign of the header component.

Aliases

I have added a new data field called Aliases, which will help assist with some common confusion surrounding names. For example, Soy Bean now has the aliases Tofu and Edamame. So when you search for Tofu, Soy Bean will be returned in the search results. As a related improvement, anything with a very high search score i.e. in when you search is almost exactly the same as the name or alias name, will be highlighted in the list. This will assist with pointing out things that are aliases.

Updated Header Component

I did a bit of a redesign of the top / header component. I think this looks a lot better now and is easier to use. The progress bar also now has an interaction with selected plants, where it will start filling up in blue as you select things, then filling in green when you log them.

Help / Tutorial Modal

This will be a long-term work-in-progress and it is very simple for now. However I wanted to add something to help explain the basic features in case anyone finds this helpful.

Interaction With "Varieties"

The interaction with varieties and the main list of plants should now be more intuitive as well. The idea is that we have a default entry like Rice and then many varieties like White Rice and Brown Rice, but on interaction with the varieties the main entry will stop showing. There are now two situations where this swap will happen: most simply when you favourite a variety, it/they will show instead of the main entry. However, this will also now happen immediately when you add a variety to your weekly count. If you add something to your weekly count but don't favourite however, it will revert back in the following week.

Minor Fixes & Improvements

  • Fixed an issue where the most relevant items weren't going to the top of the list, for example "Yam" would be at the end still when searching exactly "Yam".

  • When searching, all plants will now be listed including varieties e.g. "brown rice".

  • Fixed issue with Haptics not working for many users. This should now interact correctly with the toggle in settings.
