Search Diary Feature

Add feature that allows you to search the diary for previous foods eaten would be a big bonus. Any plans to implement this?

  • this. and also seach for biometrics, please

  • How's this coming? It would be really neat if I could find the diary entry for the last time I made Steak Pizzaiola so I could copy over the ingredients instead of having to either make a recipe or do it all over again.

  • The main discussion tracking this request is https://forums.cronometer.com/discussion/comment/8207 (due this forum not suggesting existing related topics when creating a new one, this feature has been requested multiple times).

  • I would also love to have a search diary feature. I have, however, found a clumsy hack. In Settings, Account tab, at the bottom is a section for exporting account data to csv files. It is the "servings" file that has something usable.

  • And why is this "hack" less time consuming then paging through the diary around when you think you had it last?

    You could write a crawler with curl to gather the data, how's your PHP or Python?

    That would be a horrible way to extract the data, when Cronometer should provide a JSON API, like any modern SaaS. But then again, the Cronometer web app uses this ugly Java RPC or whatever this is (never seen this response format in 10+ years of web development), so maybe a crawler would be "cleaner". 🤢

    No wonder they're struggling with technical debt.

    Also, I've pointed out above the main thread for this topic. Let's continue the discussion there please.
