  • It’s Been a While

    Since I’ve made a blog post. I had to put this project in the back seat, as other aspects of life were taking up my time. Work, kids activities, getting injured, blah blah blah. I’ve jumped back in over the last couple of weeks. A new version of Just The Watts has been uploaded to…

  • Bluetooth Sensors are Hard

    I’ve been messing with the process of connecting to bluetooth sensors to try to make it a little more elegant. It has been a tough balance between doing things in a way that is easy to program, but also intuitive for the user to interact with. Early on in development of this app I had…

  • And We’re Live

    Finally… After many back and forth conversations with Apple’s App Review team the first version of Just The Watts is available to download in the App Store. From my understanding getting your app approved for the first time is by far the most difficult. There were quite a few questions I had to answer about…

  • iPhone Version Released

    I realized quickly after releasing the iPad version of this application that, if I want this software to be as accessible as possible, my next move needed to be adjusting the UI to work with iPhones. Well that adjustment was much quicker than I expected. Partly because of how well apple has made it to…

  • Humble Beginnings

    Alright, so this whole project just started as a hmmm, I think I could do that moment. I just decided to dive headfirst into trying to build this app into “something”. I think we’ve all had the experience of coming up with some big new idea, but after you start doing the actual work to…
