GG Home Brew Calculator

[GothamGear]

I started this project about a month ago because I realized how outdated and some what flawed the other steroid conversion calculators are and wanted to make a better one for the Home Brew community. I feel with the input of the whole community we can make this a great tool.

Here are its features as of right now

• Has radio buttons to select the compound youre using (example test prop) and itll update its powder weight (as of now I have 11 different compounds)
• Also tells you exact mLs your powder will displace (kinda useless but good to know
• Has the ability to add Ethyl Oleate by % as well as Guaiacol
• Default powder weight is set to .917 as this is the average of all 11 compound. BUT id recommend using its given weight though this just replaces the .85 in other calculators which in my opinion is useless (to my experience) unless youre making Tren Ace
  
• And like others you have the ability to change theses values and has the usual Oil, Dosage, BB and BA input

Things to come in the near future

• Mobile apps for all 3 major platforms (Apple, Android, and Windows Phone) may just right a cloud app to be used on them all or a mobile webpage
  
• Full Version as I have only released the Lite. Full version will have and info tab(about each steroid and its usage) Users settings and maybe even an user database that others can share and connect with each others databases to share settings and recipes.(kinda weary on the last one but it was a suggestion)
• Full Version will also save recipe in a nice format for printing if desired.
• Reverse powder calculation- basically say you have 35g of test e and you want it dosed at 250mg with a bb of 20% and 2% BA itll calculate how many mLs you could produce
  
• Blend calculations - 2 or more compounds
  
• Warnings for noobs basically this would be if someone were to put a dosage too high for a given compound without the proper solvent to prevent crashing.
• Melting point references

The more help I get from the community the better this can be for all of us. Im doing this to better the tools we have, I make no money on this I have invented time and my own money to make this happen for everyone else, all Im asking for is your input on how to make it better and suggestions. If you find a flaw or a useless feature bring it up to me I wont take it the wrong way your input is vital to make this better for all of us. FYI I know the UI is ugly right now and Im going to change the Icon as a needle on the desktop of your laptop or pc probably isnt for everyone

Zip or download from site

http://homebrewlounge.com/downloads/HBCLite.exe

Wouldn't happen to be .NET framework, eh?

 

[ChaseTheYoke]

Anyways... I wouldn't download that. At least not and run it as admin. I have experience in software development and seeing a junior member posting up a compressed executable is a bit sketchy.

If you are able to code this across multiple platform, then you have the knowledge to write it in PHP and make it web based for BETA and avoid any accusations of posting maleware.

Sorry if I offend you, but that's my personal opinion.

You don't have to run as admin because it doesn't change how your computer works nor has any potential to harm it. It's zipped because it's the only way this board will allow it to be uploaded also not sure if you seen the link to the exe right above it . I do have some experience in coding in multiple platforms (key word is some) and that is what is coming next (web based app) I have no reason to infect other members with malware. Maybe you could be of some help in this project as my time is stretched thin. Me being a junior member is irrelevant in my opinion

C# wpf

 

[ChaseTheYoke]

Like I said. The whole download software from a random dude on the internet thing.

I used C# but it's been so long sunce I've messed with it I'm not sure I would be fast enough to be much help. The coding would be pretty simple it would seem. But I work offshore for a month at a time so it's really not possible for me to contribute anything substantial.

PHP is a pretty cool language though. Good luck. And I look forward to tje android app specifically!

I just hope if there was a virus (not saying there is at all) that it would somehow fill the remaining 10% of my email with more cheap viagra ads.....I'm only at 90% viagra spam ads currently

 

[GothamGear]

Lol no it's clean give it a go, so at least someone can vouch it's not bs

It would be better IMO if the amount of powder were an input instead of an output. The first thing I want to know is how much I can make with the powder I have on hand.

The calculate button seems extraneous. You should probably just keep the outputs updated automatically. And ditch the error prompts if you can. A message could be posted to a status bar or similar.

The list of hormones should probably not be hard coded as it is. A text file with the name and weight could easily be used to fill a simple list control.

Nice application overall - and no viruses were found : )

I could make it so the amount of powder or total oil can be toggled between the two, I was going to make a whole tab for that but a toggle would be better. Lol yeah I actually didn't consider the status bar that would have saved a ton of time handling each error. I'm in the process replacing the hormones to a drop down list. The calculate button is redundant but at the time it was easier to handle the expected errors. Thank you for your input and giving it a chance

This could be interesting...
