I’m making an iOS app [1] that allows you to track and analyze your life. It’s all local to your device and was created to help me learn more about myself and my habits. [1] https://apps.apple.com/us/app/reflect-tr

Thank you for writing this up, it was great to see all of the comparisons. Very well put together!

My experience is that it is much more terse and realistic with its feedback, and more thoughtful generally. I trust its positive acknowledgements of my work more than claude, whose praise I have been trained to be extremely skeptical of.

I’m surprised there was no mention of operational CRDT’s, or CRDT’s generally.

The language you use to describe this is fun, I make an app for self tracking called Reflect and would love your opinion of it, even if it doesnt suit your needs exactly. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/reflect-track

If anyone is interested in doing this sort of thing themselves, I make an iPhone app called Reflect meant for this exact purpose https://apps.apple.com/us/app/reflect-track-anything/id64638...

I’ve worked in robotics before. Since you mentioned backend I think getting familiar with ROS and LCM and other middleware would be helpful to you. If you have spare time, you could play around with writing drivers for motors that you buy,

I think in the workplace this is true, and a bummer, because the workplace demands the benefits that AI augmented programming offers. As a hobby, though, like music, the need for productivity isn’t as high and you can go to the proverbial p

I think AI is posing a challenge to people like the person in TFA because programming is their hobby and one that they’re good at. They aren’t used to knowing someone or something can do it better and knowing that now makes them wonder what

This sounds amazingly cool, would love to read about the process after you’re done if you have an intention to write about it.

If anyone wants a tool to show you this analysis automatically, I make an app that links with Whoop and Oura and Apple Health and it shows you all of those relationships: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/reflect-track

Thanks! I’m in a very similar situation as far as simplicity goes. This conversation has helped me in finishing my latest article: https://aneksteind.github.io/posts/2025-03-26

Thanks for the reminder. I feel the same way about not playing the game. Moreso than wanting to drive the numbers up, which is not the goal, I like sharing things and want to at least be coherent so that someone can follow along. But consid

Do you have any advice for someone like me, who has about 5 long form article ideas but would like to just get stuff out there? For example, I want to blog about matrix profiles because I just learned about them and they’re super cool. But

Yes, you can choose a random intervention schedule and also ABAB schedules with configurable number of phases and phase length. Reflect integrates with Whoop and so can act as an augmented or relacement Whoop diary feature.

What is the feature set you're looking for? There are symptom-specific apps and track anything apps, but I'm unaware of any that combines both into a generic solution. We have a roadmap item to implement things on Android. https:

If anyone is interested in running their own self guided experiments, I made an app for this called Reflect [1]. You can run self guided experiments for anything you can model as a metric in the app. We got in the top 3 on ProductHunt not t
