I want this for beer.

  If your question is "should I have a beer?" the answer is "yes"* * unless you're driving

  Oh come on boozehatemafia. I was actually serious. I do want this for beer. Being slightly tipsy is much nicer than being drunk.

    You have a point. I'd like to know how to maintain that calm relaxed feeling without going off into the "I just want to take a nap" feeling from alcohol. Having that plotted would be quite interesting.

    Honest question, can't you moderate yourself? I always have, but perhaps my body chemistry is such that it "works". I do have a pretty big "buffer". I can drink a relatively high quantity of alcohol and I've only been SICK once - never had a hangover.

I developed a similar app for Android about a year ago. Check it out... http://www.rogansoftware.com/caffeinetracker/ http://www.rogansoftware.com/caffeinetracker/ https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cafapppro https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cafapppro

    Thanks. Price clarification: $1.00 in US. 1.00 GBP in UK (lowered from 1.28). Also... there is a free ad supported version https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cafapp https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cafapp

        All prices now equivalent of 1 USD (0.64 GBP). Was experimenting with pricing, and had not set all back.

Is there something like this that's just a web app? I want it on my destkop.

Is there any reason apps like this have to be tied to a specific platform? Seems like this would be easily done in Javascript and distributed widely. I especially don't get the craze of putting simple things in iOS apps but not in web apps.
- jebberjeb 15y ago
  It's because people will pay money for the iOS app. I've met many people who, when asked that question, reply "I just like apps. Any time I find some website that I like, I check to see if they have an app". It's some sort of cultural thing.
