Hoping the new hire brings great things to Calorieking.

My husband and I have both used it for a long time and are looking forward to some progress (android? *hint hint* and/or two way sync between the desktop app and the web).

[Shane SF]

We have some big updates planned for next year. That's all I can say for now though
