I'm glad this is finally out! I signed up for the notifications about this back when it first started, but never got an e-mail about Gyroscope... so I'm glad I saw it on HN today. I hope there are plans to integrate data from Google Fit. I know my watch tracks my steps and heart rate, so it seems kind of redundant to get Moves for the former and not be able to use data I have for the latter.

Good news! We already support Google Fit. I used to wear a Moto360 and was using that to track my steps for a while, and it all ended up in Gyroscope.

I can't create an account because it uses Facebook, I'll wait for the next version.

This is a product for tracking everything you do, and tries to accomplish that by pulling data from other services that track everything you do. Is Facebook uniquely untrustworthy in this category? Is there anything about Gyroscope that makes it uniquely trustworthy, if only they gathered your data directly?

This is displaying all of my health data on a sexy website? Hmm.

It actually shows more than health data, it's like a personal dashboard for your activity, may it be physical (fitbit, jawbone and so on) or digital (instagram, twitter, foursquare)
