I'm square in your demographic, so I'll try to give you some honest feedback.
1) Inventory tracking seems odd to me, unless its primarily to brag to other tea drinkers. I mean I see my tea every day, I know how much I have.
2) I really like the brewing tracking/suggesting. The amount of tea, length of steep, and temperature all make a big difference and it can be hard to remember which caused which flavors.
3) I'm okay with making my tea drinking schedule/habits public, but I'm not sure I really want to push each one out to facebook/twitter.
So in conclusion, my main enthusiasm for the app would be my ability to log detailed brewing trials, and to see what others have come up with. I would worry others might be taking loose or incorrect measurements though, so I'd want some assurance any public notes were somewhat carefully done.
- siglesias 16y agoHi! 1) Inventory tracking was a risk we took because you're right, you can just look at your teas. However, there are some really cool features in the pipeline that will take advantage of the inventory tracker better. For example, you might have several teas, but some go stale more quickly than others. Tea can suggest for you which teas to use up more quickly, but only if it has an idea of how much you have left. Etc. 2) Thanks! 3) That feature is totally optional. Let us know if you find it intrusive. The brew suggestions that ship with Tea were very meticulously done by one expert, not an average or random statistics online. Hope you enjoy the app if you decide to use it!
- ascendant 16y agoI'd like to comment on the first one. I tend to have a goldfish's memory so the inventory tracker would do very well for me if I was out somewhere and felt like purchasing more to remember how much I have at home.
