Get it

The Windows version is available on GitHub. Linux support is not 100% complete, there are some GUI issues but a working build exists. Feature wise both versions are identical.

Open Source

TrayTrend is free software/open source. You are free to modify and distribute it under the GPLv3. Pull requests are very welcome if you improve something!

Bulding TrayTrend

Since TrayTrend is written in Object Pascal, you will need a working development environment with Lazarus and FPC. Currently Lazarus 1.8.0) is used to build TrayTrend, lazbuild should also work. No additional libraries are needed.

traytrend's Issues

Access violation under linux

Directly after starting TrayTrend, I face an access violation (network error).

The output on the console reads

TApplication.HandleException Access violation
  Stack trace:
  $0000000000631455
  $000000000061B5E3

  $000000000042CB5F
  $00000000004349E4
  $000000000043C8C5

The Application doesn't connect to my nightscout instance.
