Track Tuple of Values at Once (Multi Dimensional Datapoints) #148

Open fmagin opened 2 years ago

fmagin commented 2 years ago

First off, I really like this app, because its flexibility allows me to track various different things all in one interface. This basically replaces a ton of questionable other kind of closed source "tracking" or "journal" apps.

One limitation I ran into a few times already is that I want to track something that inherently has multiple dimensions. The current workaround I use is to abuse decimal places, i.e. to save the integer tuple (x,y) I save the numeral "x.y", so e.g. for (10, 5) I save the numeral 10.5. This is obviously a horrible hack.

The current thing I want to track is fitness/weight training progress, and the most elegant idea IMO would be to have one tracker for each kind of exercise that tracks the repetitions and the weight, e.g. (10 reps, 20kg).

This raises various implementation questions, and I by no means assume that this will be a trivial change to implement, so for now it would be interesting how many others have run into this limitation and would be interested.

Yes, I would also like to use several values at once. I used https://github.com/tomthe/quantifymyself until now, where I can log 4 values with one button. I can work around this by using 4 trackers instead of one, but this has also several drawbacks (loose the relation between those 4 values; very tedious if I want to track something in the past: I have to change the time 4 times...)

Hi please see my last response on #144. TLDR I am aware of this problem and am trying to implement changes that will fix it but perhaps not in the way you expect.
