\n\n
What is this?
\n\n It helps you keep track of all your food, cans, pickles, dried food, etc.\n
\n\n With a glance, you will know what is expiring, how many of them left, which\n you need to consume first and when is your next restock.\n
\n\n\n How to use?\n
\n\n We have a dedicated section for the guides.
\n Is this free?\n
\n\n Not entirely. It is free to use on your personal device, mobile phone,\n tablet or laptop.\n
\n\n However, if you need a backup on the Internet, I need you to chip in for the\n server cost.\n
\n\n Don't worry about it now. Talk to Kuan after you used B4TheDate extensively.\n We will figure it out.\n
\n\n\n This is not online?\n
\n\n Indeed it is not. You can use this application offline. You can
\n B4 will store all your data and photos inside your phone. I do not upload\n your information to the Internet unless you decide to backup your data into\n the remote server.\n
\n\n\n How to backup?\n
\nTalk to Kuan.
\n\n I will provide you with a backup code eventually. You will use it to upload\n all your data and photos to a remote server. Later, you can use the same\n code in another device, or the same device, to download all the backup data.\n
\n\n\n How to \"talk to Kuan\"?\n
\nCall or message him lah.
\n\n If you do not have his phone number (Welcome stranger on the Internet!),\n send an email to kuan@hey.com\n
\n\n\n Tap on\n
\n On that page, tap on the empty image box to upload a photo of the new\n item.\n
\n\n Lastly, give the new item a name. Press enter or click on \"DONE\"\n button to complete.\n
\n \n \n\n\n Select an item from the grid. Then, at the item page, tap on\n
\n If you are just getting started with B4TheDate, you will see an empty\n pop-up with an input box. Use it to add a new tag for your item.\n
\n\nYou can have multiple tags for each item.
\n\n\n Close the pop-up when you completed your tagging. You will notice the\n tags of the item is displayed instead.\n
\n\n To add or remove tags from an item. Go to its page and tap on the tags\n section:\n \n
\n Selected tag is highlighted\n \n
\n Available tag has no color\n \n
\n If you do not find the tag you want, create a new one with the input\n box at the top of the pop-up\n
\n\n You can configure the main page to only show items with certain tags.\n To do that, tap on the Filter\n\n \n
\n From the pop-up, select the tags you want to use as a filter. As you\n select the tags, you can see the grid changes its content.\n
\n\n\n When none of the tags is selected, all items will be shown. This is\n the default behaviour.\n
\n\n Caution! Renaming a tag will rename it for all items with the same\n tag. Removing a tag will remove it from all item with the same tag.\n
\n\n\n First, go to an item page with the tag you like to rename. Tap on the\n tags section to open up the tag cloud:\n \n \n \n\n
\n Long press (press and hold for 1 second) on the Tag you like to\n rename. Another popup will appear which let you input the new name for\n the tag:\n\n
\n To remove a tag, clear the input box to have the button turns to\n \"REMOVE\".\n\n
\n A batch has two things: An expiry date and a stock count. You can have\n multiple batches for each item.\n
\n\n\n Create a new batch by tapping on\n \n
\n\n\n Once a date is selected, a new line will be created right above the\n button:\n \n
\n This is the new batch you just created. You can adjust the stock count\n with the \"+\" and \"-\" button. To key in a larger number directly, tap\n on the count number.\n
\nNow and then, you will consume the food and buy new stock.
\n\n\n When you take one out for use, remember to deduct it from the batch it\n belongs to (hint: same expiry date).\n
\n\n\n If you happen to buy new stock that shares the existing expiry date,\n add one to the batch's stock with the \"+\" button. Otherwise, create a\n new batch for the new stock with a new date.\n
\n\n\n It is common to have multiple batches with multiple stock counts of a\n single item.\n
\n\n\n When you take the last one out from a batch, reduce its stock count to\n zero. A delete button will appear. Tap on it to remove the batch.\n
\n\n Each item has its reminder period (in days). An item will be marked as\n expiring when one of its batches have an expiry date that falls within\n the reminding period.\n
\n\ndays = expiry - today
\n\n Expiring = days {'<'} reminder\n
\n\n\n By default, each item has a 30 days reminder period. To change it, use\n the reminder section on the item page:\n \n Remind me in\n\n
\n When you have expiring items, the Expiring filter will have the number\n of expiring items to it:\n \n
\n Selecting this filter tag will show you all the expiring items in the\n grid. You can further filter it by your tags too.\n
\n\n\n Find it from the Filter button:\n \n
\n Similar to Expiring Items. You can use the Out of Stock filter tag to\n show all the out of stock items.\n \n
\n After you delete the last batch from an item, that item will be\n considered out of stock. Adding a new batch to it will revoke this\n stauts.\n
\n\n\n New item before adding any batches will not be considered as out of\n stock.\n
\n\n Backup to the internet is possible, but it requires more care and\n technicality. Talk to kuan or email him at\n kuan@hey.com\n
