I think this whole Personal Analytics thing is going to explode. Every time I see a service like this my heart skips a beat. I want to work on this stuff so much but I have to finish my army service first. Good job.

Yeah the concept of their quarterly and anual reports reminds me very much of what Nicholas Felton was trying to do with Datum. Where Datum broke down for me was that I had to stay consistent with manually updating it.

Good point. You don't mind something that automatically tracks you (gps, events, etc), it wouldn't creep you out?

and we were quite inspired by Nicholas Feltron's work also. I think they're amazing.

Hi there, our app is actually ready for you to use right now. So there's no baiting and waiting. Just sign up and try us out, and we'd love to hear your feedback.

(We're waiting on App Store approval, and you know how it goes with Apple...)

Ok... so I get what the app does, but why would I want to use it? Why would I want to capture every single moment of my life, regardless of importance, forever? What do I care where I was a year ago? And why on earth would I want a "quarterly report" of my life with statistics ? Honest questions. Apologies for the bluntness.

Being very much an obsessive over-analyzer, this data sounds terrific to me...

Not everyone wants to share everything. So this could be a great personal analytics tool capture life and build a better self. Then anything you don't mind sharing could go into a more public social network. I like the idea of a private timeline. In the Reddit AMA Kevin Rose said he thought "Quantified self (eg. fuelband, fitbit)" were the next trends. So a Quantified self timeline would make a lot of sense and bring…

thank you! yes we are also big believers in the power of "quantified self" & life-logging, and we will be adding more analytics features.

I got a letter in the mail recently that I wrote to myself almost 10 years ago. It was only one page long but it's ridiculous how much it moved me. I wrote about my relationship with my family and what I hoped to do with my career. Getting that brief window into my former self was amazing. I've been using Everyday.me for about a month now and it gives me a lightweight version of that feeling. I don't record everythin…

How? Did an external organization hold your letter for you?

Small piece of feedback: if you are going to connect with facebook anyway, instragram and whatever else, why are you making me write my name, email address, etc.? Nitpicking here.

Also, I'm just testing the app, but if I were to use it for real, I would like to know who I'm going to be trusting my most private thoughts and activities to. I didn't see much about that in your page, the "who am I and why I am here" question would be extremely important for your users to trust you, so including information about where you want to take everyday.me is important (how will you monetize it? there are many black hat monetization schemes you could pull with this kind of data which wouldn't be ok so we want to know what your plans are).

Thanks for sharing!
