Is this one of those things to see how many people are going to take interest in your project, when in reality you don't have anything at the moment ? I'm not sure why it looks that way.

#22How many tweets you make? How many tracks you listen to? How is this data going to help you improve your life? Tracking your sleep is one thing. But most of this is just noise.
The name Exist is creepy. As if, you don't truly exist until you can pigeonhole yourself into a couple of statistics. I swear, everyone here is mind blind.

#23Hope they add support for the Narrative Clip. That would be quite a cool dashboard.
Exist co-founder here. The Narrative Clip is on our radar, but seems to be more of a lifelogging/journalling use case. For now we're focused on making your data useful but we have had a few people ask about the possibility of a lifelogging/journal angle so that could be where we end up down the track, who knows...
Hi :) I'd love to have some high quality biofeedback tracked, in particular for measuring stress and concentration levels (in so far as either can be neatly defined).
Re: Exist
#24Interesting model for the beta: What we're doing works a bit like a Kickstarter. We're asking supporters to back us for AU$60. Why charge for 1,000 places? The maths on 1,000 × 60 means two co-founders working full-time for six months. This is just enough time for us to get stuck in without worrying about the future It's also a handy, low number that means we don't have to worry about scaling a whole lot of data anal…
Oh that's a neat model. I'm going to hang on to that idea for my start-up (on the back burner, just had to take a permanent position due to my financial position).

#25 I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

#26What resources do they need to launch exist?
30k per founder for 6 months seems like quite a lot of money.

Hmm I would hope it doesn't look that way. The screenshots are certainly not mockups—we actually have a tiny group of close friends using it already to help us test it out.
Re: Exist
#28Big data for your personal life.
Only one problem: Big data is amazingly hard to get valuable insight out of. Correlation is relatively easy, but causation? Not so much.
Actually, even if the data isn't big, it's still _really_ hard to figure out causation. If exist.io does make it, It'll be because they figure out just ONE kind of reliable causative relationship they pull out of their data, and they figure out how too monetize that....
This is actually a pretty clever way to crowdsource THAT process though...

Those metrics would be great to have. We already have a huge to do list of services to integrate, and I'd love to have some easily available ones like heart rate and blood pressure in there soon.

Perhaps its a good way to validate the idea / test the market? I wouldn't pay a $1 myself, but if they can get 1,000 people to pay $60, more power to them.
