#2This started out as a learning project (objective: collect a bunch of my personal data, connect it with BigQuery, and play with regressions in TensorFlow), but I've found it useful in the last 2 months of usage to outsource memory for the purpose of tracking tasks, goals and projects, on multiple time scales.
There are plenty of habit trackers out there, obviously, so this has really been an exercise in figuring out how to integrate a tracking app as seamlessly as possible into a daily routine, while generating a dataset that has the potential to give meaningful personal insights. The jury's still out on that.
Testers, collaborators, and feedback of all kinds welcome.

I've been toying with various projects in this area myself, so I'll definitely give it a look!
Is there any chance you could make a video that shows how the app works? The screenshots look nice, but especially with an app that is 'always there' a video showing how it works in practice is important.

Agreed the screenshots dont give a clear enough overview of the functionality, and a video is a good idea. Let me see what I can do.

#5Great work. I think quantified self is one of those area that is under-looked. We put all this energy into BI (Business Intelligence) but we don't put much effort into making products to help people better understand themselves.
I'm working on a similar project myself but I welcome innovation in the space.

+1 for video idea

#7Just signed up and this is almost exactly what I've been looking for.
The Github repo mentions a REST api that can be used to push arbitrary data into the system. Are there any docs around this yet?

Thanks for having a look, and glad to hear it. No API docs yet, but I've just created an issue for this (https://github.com/onejgordon/flow-dashboard/issues/24).
If you're familiar with python webapps, you can see api.py:TrackingAPI, which takes a date and a simple JSON data param.
Let me know if that looks like it fits your need, and if not, I'd be curious to hear more about how you'd like such an API to work.

#9This looks really cool! It looks much more feature rich and UX-friendly than any similar tools I've ever seen.
I can't wait to poke around this a bit more. It also uses the same stack I'm planning to use on my next personal project (Django + React).

#10Very cool. Nice work!
