As you seem to recognize in your reply to Gwern, this probably cannot function as a stand-alone feature, but needs to sit atop a Quantified Self platform. The minimal system is one that just keeps track of your data, while making data entry easier than existing systems. The next step is to figure out what things you’re tracking correspond to what things I’m tracking. This is difficult to combine with the flexibility of allowing the tracking of anything.
Why haven’t you gotten into the Quantified Self thing? At the very least, they probably have better answers to this question.
Quantified Self seems like one of those things you have to be into, and I’m just not that into it.
It seems to me that a lot of the QS-types take an almost recreational pleasure in what they’re doing. I understand that. I get a similar sort of pleasure from other things, but not this. I’d like the information, but there’s only so much effort I’m prepared to spend on getting it.
