"Bank Account Mode"

I've been sitting on this for a few years but never really knew how best to implement it. If there was a way to transfer our calories daily into a form of currency (fitbit-coin for instance) and get "paid" each day for our calories, while "paying" for any food or drink we consume. 

I feel that a sense of "do some pushups receive some currency compensation" would be able to help motivate some people. If at least one person is impacted then it's well worth trying.

If there is another app that pairs with fitbit or some way to enable/disable this mode in app it could work.

This also opens up a way to have a cute little mascot financial/workout advisor on our interface.

I know a very tiny amount of programming, or else I'd try to tackle it myself. 

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions please let me know, this is something I've wanted for a while!

You could do this an app on Ionic, or just using the Fitbit Web APIs.

 

 

For a start you can take a look at the Getting Started guide:

Then try swapping the clock time for the calorie count from here:
