New DIY recipe app.

[demitrix]

I have been working to develop this app for a while and decided to publish it today. I hope some of you will take the time to check it out and let me know what you think or if it needs anything. Thank you for your time.

Looks decent and a quality build.
Thanks for the share!

Nice! Very simple, easy to use calc. GREAT for my tablet at my DIY desk. Thanks!

Okay, so Mama J's isn't listed as a flavor source, so I tried the "DIY" option to enter Game Over Custard to the inventory. It gave an error (Sorry it broke. Bugs sent to the man) and won't allow it. Also, there needs to be a way to correct inventory levels - I tried to adjust the quantity of a TFA flavor down, but the program wouldn't allow it. I even tried to add a negative number to balance it, but it wouldn't accept that, either.

Okay, I can't seem to save a batch. Am I missing something?

Damn! So far this looks awesome. Thank you so much for this!!! Plugged in one of my mixes (6 flavors) and they were all there and easy to add.

Nitpicky things that no one else probably cares about -
1 - I like to mix at 1.5 mg/ml. I can do the math in my head to compensate but maybe allowing numerical input to one decimal place wouldn't be too hard?
2 - I don't see a way to edit a mix once its saved. Mine are constantly evolving. It would be super helpful to be able to copy/paste a mix for editing a new version. Some of my mixes get up toward 10 flavors so it would be a real time saver to not have to plug them in every time and would also eliminate human error. Also, editing a past mix is a must for me so I can make notes on that version. I can't add notes about the mix until after I've vaped it, not when I'm mixing it, if that makes sense.
3 - Definitely need a way to add a flavor that's not on the list.
4 - I don't see a donate button!

Okay, I can't seem to save a batch. Am I missing something?

When I went to the calculator screen the save button didn't work for me. I was able to save the mix percentages but not the batch (with PG/VG ratio and nic strength). Might be a bug. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S4 running lollipop.

Thanks again for this @demitrix!!! "One small step for man, one giant leap for the DIY community."

My apologies, I have corrected the problem with saving a batch and I am uploading the fix as I type this.

As far as adding flavors, for the time being I am limiting a users ability to do that. Trying to keep a clean uniform database of flavorings, I will add anything upon request.

@KeyserSoze I will change the resolution of the mg/ml slider to allow X.5 levels. Thanks for the input.
I haven't planned on allowing a recipe to be modified or updated but I will look at adding this in future updates.
Adding a donate button would require enabling In-app Purchases. I don't want that permission on the app so I guess just enjoy for free!

Edit: I forgot also added the option to decrease inventory with negative numbers.

I like you already.

I understand your point about adding flavors. That makes sense I just was thinking it would be a monumental task to keep up with all of the flavors. I suppose if one wanted to use NF, MF etc you could just plug in someone else's strawberry and make a note of the substitution. That wouldn't be hard. I bet 99% of the stuff I use is already on there so I'm all good.

Thanks for adding the nicotine slider functionality! That's great.

Just being able to add notes at a later date would cover my usage since I would want to make a new copy of the recipe for changes anyway. Making a new (editable) copy of a mix would be great though if its not too much trouble for you.

And I for one appreciate your hard work and generosity greatly. I really liked seeing that there were no permissions. It's a noble cause to keep it that way.

Right now I have 1150 flavorings listed so like you said most things should be covered, but I am always willing to add more, so don't be shy about asking.

Notes can be added to batches, since that it is working with the new update. Once you make a batch you will see and add note button on the top right of the batch. Notes are then displayed and dated so you know how long the batch has steeped for each note.

Oh hell yeah. Well played sir.
