Show HN: Fed up of ugly and weird diving apps, I built my own
depthlog.net
Among my many passions (some dangerous), I love scuba diving. All the logbook apps I tried had these problems: - Distant from the user experience and needs. - Complicated yet useless features that no one uses. Literally no one, not even those who created them. - Ugly. - I mean very ugly.
So I spent the last months building my own from scratch.
Cool fact: the most famous platforms for divers on the web actually have pretty naive algorithms for computing consumption. Therefore I worked with my brother (PhD in Aerospace Engineering and Fluid dynamics) to devise a very accurate - probably the most precise among existing apps - model for computing true mixture consumption, which actually is a fundamental parameter to keep under control when diving. I think we will write a blog about it.
I do not know if there is any dude here on HN that is both a tech nerd and scuba diver, but hey, if you do exist, I would love some feedback. Cheers!
