This was abandoned due to me starting a language school 8 years ago. Since covid-19 forced that into liquidation. But I’m back on the dev wagon. So this has now been moved to the projects section and has been updated to reflect my current study needs.

So this my first foray back into software development after a long break. I’m starting on a plugin for WordPress called UnitTracker. This little tool should help me create widgets or pages that track changes in anything over time. What does that mean in practice? You can measure weight, time, distance, depth, temperature, or any other figure you’d like over a given period.

Planned Features

• Record a unit of any type (integer, double, weight, distance, temperature, monetary value e.t.c.).
• Give an administration page to add/remove / update / delete the different Units being tracked.
• Give a description to each tracker
• Link from the tracker to post.
• Track the difference between the starting point and the present
• Track the progress from the starting or present point to a goal
• Display the tracked unit on a page, post or widget.

Future work

• Graphs and charts showing change over time
• More advanced target settings and display options
• Downloads of stored data as CSV’s.
• Export values as RSS, Twitter, or FB
• Export values to a tracking site where you can work with others.
• Alerts when changes are negative or when you haven’t updated in awhile
• Good WP development re-write
  • Use i18n, l10n.
  • Allow for updates
  • Implement all the WordPress Coding Standards.
  • Also, apply all of the Inline Documentation Standards.
  • Re-Write from scratch after considering Top 10 Most Common Coding Mistakes in WordPress Plugins
• Release plugin version 1.0 on the WordPress site.
