Sharing my Fitbit Data on KTracy.com

A huge victory for KTracy.com!

When I decided to keep KTracy.com a static, hand coded website; Carl had showed me a new way to automate content using technology that's already part of my life. This was the "technological breakthrough" Rachel mentioned when we made the announcement back on June 14, 2022. One of the goals I had was sharing my Fitbit data someway, somehow. There were two reasons for this:

  1. First, this is my personal website. It's what I wanted to do; and it makes the site appear more like a personal site.
  2. Second, my hope is that by sharing my Fitbit data online, I will be paranoid about everyone seeing it and put in a little extra effort so I don't feel embarrassed because I only got 1,000 steps working from home, creating content, and drawing before going to bed. My fans and readers are my accountability partners.

Right now, KTracy.com is displaying my Fitbit data in a similar but far more complex way as the "Recent Photo" process we described earlier. Once we're sure everything is working okay, we'll share the code.

Until then, I'm just super excited that we got this working. My web team's and my knowledge of PHP is definitely leveling up.
