#2> Yet, this tendency for myopia and prioritization of spectacle seems not align with many interests of mine. I find that a lot of the most significant levers on my life, both good and bad, seem to rely on compounding, on consistency and longer time periods.
This is quite insightful. It applies even more so to groups of people collectively (I'm sure I need not point out specific instances). All the more so when the data is noisy, and a bit of selectivity in setting the date range for analysis can result in the trend being minimized or reversed.
A moving average graph can help dispell this illusion, but the more aggressive the averaging the more it becomes a trailing indicator. One way to adjust for this is to use two moving averages (one longer one shorter) and plotting the difference between them. That will give you a fairly clear idea of whether the trend you're looking at is getting stronger, weaker, or reversing. It is still a trailing indicator but the trend-of-the-trend knowledge helps adjust for that.

That's a great point! I vaguely tried to go in that direction by plotting the average over the past 7 days, the average over the 7 days before and the average over the year to date. Yet, I fully agree one might want to push this a little further and do as you describe. Thanks for the suggestion!

I've been more focused on collecting rather than processing the data and giving automated feedback, like what you're doing with your telegram bot. I really like that aspect. Very cool setup

Interesting, would you consider adding a bit more information and perhaps some screenshots on the home page? I don't want to sign up to find out.

Good point, I'll add some photos and a video later this week. There are a few screenshots on Producthunt here:

It looks interesting. However, there are a couple of issues here.
- The page is missing even a vague privacy policy. I get it that that might not be a priority when you're just working on the MVP but, IMHO, you should put at least a couple of words on what you're doing with users data.
- There's a single word on the page that says "Encryption" and that's it. This makes me more nervous, not less.
- No information on the company that's selling this.
- No screenshots.

Just want to reinforce what others are saying: I visited the site and was intrigued. I wanted to see what the experience was like. So I clicked "try it" but instead of getting to try it, I was presented with a sign-up form.
Would be really great to let people try the experience and then prompt them to sign up to save it.
