It was a busy week elsewhere, so this one is light. Just two updates: a toolkit I'd been meaning to build, and a small bit of tidying on the homepage.
A Google Health toolkit
Toolforest already has a Fitbit toolkit, and it isn't going anywhere yet. But Google has said it will eventually retire the current Fitbit Web API, so I wanted a replacement ready before that day arrives. The new Google Health toolkit reads the same kind of data: activity, sleep, heart rate, and the rest. It also isn't limited to Fitbit hardware, so it can read from other Google wearables like the Pixel Watch.
Like Gmail and the other sensitive Google APIs, health data sits behind a verification process that Google requires before an application can offer it to everyone. I'm going through the process now, which from past experience will take several weeks. Until it's approved, access is limited to whitelisted users, so the toolkit has a register button that lets you request access in the meantime.
Tabs for the toolkits
The other change is smaller. As the number of toolkits has grown, having them all on one screen had started to feel crowded. The homepage now groups them into tabs, so the music toolkits sit together, the Google toolkits sit together, and so on. A small thing, but it should keep the set easy to scan as it keeps growing.
As always, ideas and suggestions are welcome at gerrit@toolforest.io.
