HRT Journey Tracker Suite: Challenges in Unifying Privacy-First Tools

DEV Community •
×

A developer is seeking guidance on unifying a suite of privacy-first, offline desktop tools designed to support individuals on their HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) journey. The suite includes tools for medication logs, journaling, cycle tracking, and resource saving, with plans for a body change mapper and voice-training tool. Each application currently operates independently and stores data locally, adhering to strict privacy standards.

The developer aims to combine these tools into a cohesive application while planning for a future web version. Challenges include structuring the combined app without overwhelming the codebase, designing a shared data model, maintaining a consistent and accessible UI, and planning for future web integration without over-engineering. The project emphasizes accessibility, autonomy, and privacy, reflecting the core values of supporting individuals navigating transition.

Community advice is sought on modular design, PySide6, and app suite architecture to help overcome these challenges and create a unified, user-friendly application.
