Barista Bud App Published!

It's been some time since our first few posts, but I would like to gratefully announce the release of our shiny new app Barista Bud. Now - before you pop that lovely name in the search bar of your fancy Iphone, or Android device of choice,  your going to have to wait a while longer. It's unfortunately only published for devices running Windows Phone. It's in current development of the IOS version (I just bought a mac specifically for this, ah!), and I am as well working on the android version. Please keep in mind that this is the first app I've committed all the way until publishing, and that I'm also still quite new to programming.

But wait, what even is Barista Bud!?

Barista Bud is a simple way to calculate the perfect ratio of water to coffee for specific brewing methods. It has the ability to convert through different units (also tablespoons for those non-weigher's out there), and also has a brew timer. The current app now is essentially the "lite" version. It's free with ads, and is fairly straight to the point. Once I get it up and running for all major devices I'll begin the "Pro" version which should have many more features like manipulation of TDS% and extraction yield% (sort of how VST's MojoToGo app for IOS achieves), and also a guided timer for pour over brewing. The timer will provide visually when to pour water, how long between pours, and quantity of water when poured (for that extra special cup!). Currently all ratios are based off a constant 1.28% TDS, and 19.2% extraction yield.

So if you have a Windows phone device, I would more than eternally love you to go check it out, and possibly drop a rating! Also I would love to hear what you guys are looking for in this app. Drop a comment of ideas or criticism and I'll surely do my best to implement it.
