Hi Everyone.

I have browsed this site for 2 years or so now since my wife and I started growing but never posted anything. Hopefully this isn't viewed as shameless self promotion, but I got tired of having to use a website in the patch or take notes and bring them into the house to add to excel, so I wrote an Android app that incorporates the newest GPC formula, let's you keep notes, pictures, graphs the OTT weights over time, stuff like that. I thought something would exist already, but it didn't, so I made it.

There are zero ads, it collects zero data, I will make absolutely 0.00 dollars (So I think I am in the clear for rule 5) from this ever, so I am not trying monetize this community. I just felt like everyone did and does help us so much in our journey to figure this out and get better, I would also give this app back to the community, or anyone that wants it at least.


You can easily find it on Android by searching for "Giant Pumpkin Calculator" written by 'esvanoe'

Also, I am very open to feedback, feature requests, etc. A lot of what is in the app today was from beta testers telling me "it would be cool if...."

I am the sole developer though so not everything requested might make the cut, it might take time measured in months, not days, etc.

Thanks everyone!

Welcome to bigpumpkins.com Erik! This is a great place to share ideas. Would you consider joining as a premium member? There's a link on the main page. Just $15 a year and you get access to the secret member-only forum and other perks!

I had already been considering it, now you're telling me about super secret members only forums? You going to let in a newbie who hasn't even broken 500lbs yet though?

No problem! Let me know if you see anything you don't think works quite right, or any little features that might be interesting.

Hope you enjoy it!

Hi Erik, tried your ott app on last season's pumpkin, very impressive. How does one contact you?

You can email me at esvanoe@gmail.com as I assume over time this thread here will get buried and I will forget to check it frequently.
