I’m much more of a “hacking silently in a cave” type.</p> <p>Anyway, I’m really excited to share some new stuff I’ve recently added to SkinTheory, in case you haven’t checked out the app recently! Here are some of the things:</p> <h2 id="fancy-schmancy-new-ui-">Fancy schmancy new UI ✨</h2> <p>It took a little while, but I’ve done a large overhaul of the code and cleaned up the UI to bring it from 2020 into 2026. Definitely more updates to come here as well.</p> <p><img src="https://skintheory.app/blog/v3.3.2/timeline.webp" alt="The new Timeline screen, showing a week of entries and a day with three skin photos" class="screenshot" width="640" height="1391" /></p> <h2 id="3-new-free-trackers-">3 new (free!) trackers 🔬</h2> <p>I’ve added a few new, highly requested trackers (<strong>Sleep</strong>, <strong>Water</strong> and <strong>Exercise</strong>), and you can now use <strong>any 2 of the Lab+ trackers for free</strong> at a time.</p> <p><img src="https://skintheory.app/blog/v3.3.2/trackers.webp" alt="The New Entry screen with the Diet, Water Intake, Sleep and Exercise trackers" class="screenshot" width="640" height="1391" /></p> <h2 id="advanced-routine-reminders-️">Advanced routine reminders ⏲️</h2> <p>Now you can add multiple routine reminders and customize when they repeat, to work around your tracking routine.</p> <p><img src="https://skintheory.app/blog/v3.3.2/reminders.webp" alt="The Routine Reminders screen with morning and night reminders, daily and weekly" class="screenshot" width="640" height="1391" /></p> <h2 id="yall-seem-to-have-noticed-️">Y’all seem to have noticed ❤️</h2> <p>I pushed out these updates around the start of October, and the number of people making entries in SkinTheory is way up! Hope you enjoy it, and let me know if you have any comments!</p> <p><img src="https://skintheory.app/blog/v3.3.2/entries-graph.webp" alt="Graph of SkinTheory entries from mid-August to November: a dip at the start of October, then a sharp climb after the update" class="narrow" width="907" height="1010" /></p> <h2 id="whats-next">What’s next?</h2> <p>I’m getting married in like 10 days, so I’m going to be a bit busy for the next month, but I’ve got some exciting updates planned for SkinTheory.</p> <p>Our next plan is to make it <strong>dead simple to see what’s causing (or fixing) your acne and skin issues</strong>.</p> <p>Right now, this requires manual work to figure out what’s going on with your skin. It’s kind of hard, actually, so we want to surface insights about your skin and answer your questions with solid advice.</p> <p>Join the email list below if you’re interested in following the updates and my stream-of-consciousness thoughts!</p> <p>Until next time,</p> <p>Conor<br /> SkinTheory dev</p>
