OFFLFIRSOCH 2024: foodscale.py

I finally finished and posted my entry for the OFFLFIRSOCH (the offline-first software challenge) 2024:

=> foodscale.py: A command-line utility to find the mass of a volume of food

I identified this as a task for which I always use the internet even though it’s not strictly necessary, and that would be pretty easy to program (I’m happy to report that it was).

=> Here’s solderpunk’s announcement explaining OFFLFIRSOCH 2024

=> And here’s a report rounding up the efforts that actually concluded in March

Sorry it’s late. The code only represents a couple hours of effort, but I missed the March deadline due to life and work, and then I kept putting it off forever because it was already late. I also hoped to find a new tilde home to host the repo now that retrace.club isn’t coming back, and got distracted by that quest, deciding ultimately to make a Codeberg account because it was free and easy.

Just ADHD things. To be frank, the fact that I actually wrapped this up and posted it represents some personal growth.

=> I explained the choice of Python a bit here

Yes, I’m aware that I’ve written “OFFLFIRSOCH” a few different ways in various places. Sorry about that.

I would love to hear if anyone else ever uses this to cook anything, and I suppose I want to hear if anyone finds bugs.
