menchu | Irene Simó Muñoz

Everyone I know who menstruates uses some kind of tracking app to register their cycles. I have too for some years, these apps are easy to use and convenient. However, I started noticing some ads in different platforms would seem to be quite in tune with the current stage of my cycle. Switching apps hardly changed that. This motivated the creation of Menchu, an extremely simple tool to track menstruation cycle information that uses time series analysis and modeling to predict your cycle.

Lack of time and skills limit the use of Menchu to computers and command-line use at the moment; data privacy relies in locality. If you are knowleadgeable on app development and/or security and data privacy and would like to help me out, shoot me a message!

See the dedicated webpage for installation, user’s giude and more details.

Below are some screenshots of the tool

To give your project a background in the portfolio page, just add the img tag to the front matter like so:

---
layout: page
title: project
description: a project with a background image
img: /assets/img/12.jpg
---

Caption photos easily. On the left, a road goes through a tunnel. Middle, leaves artistically fall in a hipster photoshoot. Right, in another hipster photoshoot, a lumberjack grasps a handful of pine needles.

This image can also have a caption. It's like magic.

You can also put regular text between your rows of images, even citations (Einstein & Taub, 1950). Say you wanted to write a bit about your project before you posted the rest of the images. You describe how you toiled, sweated, bled for your project, and then… you reveal its glory in the next row of images.

You can also have artistically styled 2/3 + 1/3 images, like these.

The code is simple. Just wrap your images with <div class="col-sm"> and place them inside <div class="row"> (read more about the Bootstrap Grid system). To make images responsive, add img-fluid class to each; for rounded corners and shadows use rounded and z-depth-1 classes. Here’s the code for the last row of images above:

<div class="row justify-content-sm-center">
  <div class="col-sm-8 mt-3 mt-md-0">
    {% include figure.liquid path="assets/img/6.jpg" title="example image" class="img-fluid rounded z-depth-1" %}
  </div>
  <div class="col-sm-4 mt-3 mt-md-0">
    {% include figure.liquid path="assets/img/11.jpg" title="example image" class="img-fluid rounded z-depth-1" %}
  </div>
</div>
