Lots of reasons for not implementing as a web app atm shetc. The BIABacus, once you get used to seeing everything on a single screen, might look simple but is a lot more advanced and does many more calculations than other brewing software. Over and above that, it does many cross-calculations. It is an incredibly solid base to make it a coded program.
It's important that you and others realise the amount of work that has gone into getting things this far. Becoming a
donor will make things like apps more of a possibility as any coding, unless someone volunteers, will have to be paid for.
And don't forget me! I've put heaps in. A lot of dollars for a start, but more so, many, many, many hundreds of hours of time I never expected or really wanted to spend. Lucky I am like I am. I find this whole area of home brewing info very interesting mainly because it is so shockingly lacking.
Anyway, another long day spent on BIABrewer.info. I'll certainly see you and others getting the best BIABacus spreadsheet I can. But, it will be easy for many brewers to
not see how simple and powerful the spreadsheet/program is. So, any further improvements will depend on brewers who can not only see that but also who take care to become a Donor or an Enthusiast.
So, where things go from here are no longer much up to me, they are up to the community. There will be those who make things happen and those who wait for things to happen. The ones who keep me motivated are the ones who recognise and acknowledge how much work gets put in here whether it be by saying thanks or chipping in $5 or spending their time answering questions on the forum with consideration or by welcoming new members.
Those people make things happen. To make a thing happen is to create a happening. Making things happen is the basis of happiness.
Ponder that on your next beer
