      Code Documentatoin

      A lot of the code inside Habit Tracker lacks pydoc-friendly documentation. Adding this would make the codebase much easier to maintain.

      Testing outside Ubuntu

      Right now, Habit Tracker is developed using the Quickly framework for Ubuntu programs, and has only ever been tested on Ubuntu. However, Habit Tracker should work on all GNOME systems. We need testers running other GNU/Linux distributions, especially Debian.

      • Tip:

        Discuss documentation, testing, webmastering, and/or publicity.

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        We need people to download version 0.4.5 and make sure the frobulator still frobulates correctly.

  • Q: What's a good bug for a newcomer to tackle?

      • Tip:

        Many projects have good small tasks that can teach newcomers how the project works. Now's your chance to share one of them!

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        Someone could improve the photo upload dialog box so that it lets you resize the photo before sending it to the web.

  • Q: What is a bug or issue with Habit Tracker that you've been putting off, neglecting, or just plain avoiding?

    • [X]

      • Examples:

        I don't know how to get started with internationalizing my app.

        Bug 392 about printing was filed five years ago, and I don't even know if printing still works.

        I want help from a C coder writing a Maildir patch for Alpine.

      • Note:

        If this issue was formally filed on the web, be sure to include the URL.

About Habit Tracker

(logo)

A simple program to help users instill habits. It asks users once a day if they've succeeded or failed in sticking to a new habit. If they succeed for 30 days, they've won! But if they fail, the clock is reset and they have to start over from square one.

Non-free web services exist that track users as they attempt to learn a habit, by keeping a counter of how many days they've successfully performed that habit, and resetting that counter if users fail to perform that habit.

This is a free software desktop program that duplicates the functionality of those services. It has no network usage, but is licensed under the AGPLv3, so that any derived web services (not that any should exist -- this software is basic) will be free.
