Having a site like PatientsLikeMe for anti-akrasia techniques would be awesome. Or productivity techniques in general.
If somebody made an open-source, easily modifiable and pluginnable platform for a general “report your experiences with thing X” site that could be customized into reporting about anything, be it akrasia techniques or medical treatments or something else… they’d probably contribute more utilons to the world with that action than most people ever will.
I’ve done a certain amount of thinking on this particular topic, so if anyone is really genuinely truly going to do a startup around it, please call me first.
I actually started creating such a site a while back (because I wanted one for personal use and generalised from there). It got put on the back burner in preference for money earning. That more utilons to the world than most people ever will sounds tempting. :)

You should check out the Quantified Self, both for finding existing tools and for finding people to use future tools.
Thankyou! I’ll make use of that.
