#32Do you really want to associate yourself with Klout?
I get that some people despise Klout, but it symbolises "one score to rule them all" (aka the mother of all online map-reduce) better than any other service I can think of, among a tech-savvy audience.
Also it's OT, but there are actually many positive aspects of Klout to businesses dealing with multiple accounts and thousands or millions of followers and interacting accounts. They are less applicable to individuals, which is why it can come across as a narcissistic "social media guru" gimmick.

#33This doesn't integrate with enough things, and there isn't a way to delete my account, which I definitely want to do if you're not going to support any of the trackers I already use.
To be honest, a lot of the tracking apps already try to become the dashboard, and integrate with each other pretty well. I don't really see enough differentiation here to give me a reason to log into yet another thing.

We are focusing primarily on integrating more platforms in order to make the metric more relevant to everyone. Some platforms DO integrate other app; however, we are trying to aggregate data in a way that makes it easier to compare. Nudge will become more and more passive as we continue to integrate.
We have more on the way, so keep your eyes peeled! Thanks!

#35Awesome work. I have been working on an open source API to accomplish similar things (specifically just re: aggregation of data from disparate sources): https://github.com/jdjkelly/quantify It's Rails + Postgres, and so far aggregates meal, weight, and sleep data from Withings and Fitbit - but I've been focussed on building out a framework to easily aggregate many, many more sources. Maybe we could find a project to…
I believe Tictrac ( https://www.tictrac.com/ ) is working on a similar system
Thanks! I hadn't heard of this. Playing around with it for a few minutes, and it strikes me as, well, _complicated_. I think that's one of the difficulties in this space - just being able to reduce, reduce, reduce so much data into powerful, impactful decision making.

Didn't really address the fact that there isn't a way to delete my account. And I've already received a marketing email, so... now I really want to delete my account.

#37Great idea, I'm on board but would really like to know which apps/devices you integrate with before downloading. I figured if I scrolled down a bit there would be a list. Maybe I missed it somewhere?

Currently Moves, RunKeeper, MapMyRun, MapMyRide, other MapMy's... have another coming really soon!

Add UP to that and I'm in. They've got an open API now, I believe.
