This is cool! Re: multiple aggregates in one query, I wrote a Ruby gem that adds an even-more-powerful and multi-database-compatible version to ActiveRecord. (I have tested Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite; others probably work, too.) https:&#x

This looks very much worth a try. I've already ordered a kit. If it works well, there's probably 3-4 people in my household that could benefit from it. Is there a way for us to share using separate iPhones? Using the same iPhone?
