This program is no longer under development

WeightWatch has been ported to the Android platform and is available on the Android Market under the name "Libra". The project page is: http://code.google.com/p/libra-android

These pages are here as reference to the latest version.

If you'd like to take over the project, contact me (my username is on the right, @gmail.com).

A J2ME application that takes daily readings of your weight and displays them in a chart with a moving average "tendency curve" in order to absorb errors in daily weighing.

This is open source code under the GPLv3. You're welcome to look at the code, but if you want to change and publish it, you will have to publish your changes for everyone to see. It's not only nice -- it's mandatory.

If you want to contribute to this project, here's how you can contribute:

1. Install your Java IDE of choice with a mobility pack. NetBeans works very well and is nicely integrated: http://www.netbeans.org/downloads/index.html (be sure to get the "mobility" version)
2. Access this SVN server in order to download the code. Usually all IDEs support SVN natively, or through the use of plugins, or you can also use an external SVN client such as the excelent Tortoise SVN for Windows: http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org
3. Download the source code from http://code.google.com/p/weightwatch/source/checkout and open it on your IDE. The code is currently packaged as a NetBeans project.
4. Edit the code, test it, and if you implement something cool, why not contribute it? Send me a shout to cachapa at google's mail server (that would be gmail.com)

If you want to contribute but you don't have any developing experience, you can still:

• Submit bug reports or feature requests using the "Issues" tab up there
• Help with the art. Right now the interface isn't bad but it's certainly not pleasant
• Help translating the application into other languages
