Like the concept, it's sometimes really hard to understand relations between all things that happened in our lives. Think this could help !

@ousmane_ndiaye Thanks Ousmane! I started this journey building Nomie for exactly that purpose - to find out what triggers what. After 5 years: - I know I need to avoid American gluten, but non-american gluten seems to be fine. - I know that sleep is insanely important for my mood. - I know I need to cut back on drinking ciders during the summer - I know that my depressive periods never last longer than 3 or 4 days. I've also tracked WAY too many seemingly random events that have happened on the same exact day a year ago, that I feel like I found a glitch in the matrix.

@brandoncorbin Wow that is very impressive ! Congrats for reaching such clever learnings ! By the way, I am wondering how do you overcome the user friction due to the massive effort that is requiered from your users ? I mean, to be relevent your app needs to be "feed" with a lot of data I guess... How do you encourage your users to be regular in feeding the app ? As a user it is often the reason why I drop off this kind of app... Anyway, I think I will try yours since it seems very interesting ;)

@ousmane_ndiaye 95% of people want to track, 5% will actually do it long term. I focus on those 5%. The act of tracking is the key, taking a 2 second break from life and capturing how you're doing - that by itself is what's important. Hell, you could do it with a spreadsheet, notes, anything. I just wanted the experience to be super fast. That being said, like previous versions, Nomie 4 will eventually have the means to import external data. I just need to figure out the best way of handling it, now that it's browser based.

I've been building Nomie for nearly 5 years. Once a proprietary native app for iOS and Android - I've since decided to port it to SvelteJS as a progressive web app and release it under the MIT license.

@brandoncorbin I love your commitment in data protection But we can't trust this as we did with WhatsApp and co

I've been using something like this for a few months (https://coda.io/d/Emoodji_d2tRke...). This seems a lot more powerful than it. I've already put it in my daily commitments, lets see how it plays out. It's great to know it's open source, and the codebase seems super simple so if i miss something, github is my place to go! haha

This is really neat, love it. Would be great if there was an API to compare the data to other sources, like sleep tracking. Also would be great if range values could start from 0 instead of 1.

@vincelwt Thanks for the feedback Vince! Importing of external data is on the list for sure - It's just a bit tricker to figure out now that its web based. I'll be fixing that Range bug shortly.. It will be in this weekends release on open.nomie.app, or tonights dev release on dev.nomie.app

@winstonhofer Thank you kind sir!

Congratulations on this amazing app! I already use it since the first version and I love it! The only thing that needs to be improved, in my opinion, is data entry in previous days. If I want to put more than one habit on the day before, I have to go one by one and it ends up discouraging me from recording my habits. Other than that ... I love this app since the first version! Love at first app!

Great app! Is there an Android version?

@sunilc_ It's a PWA (meaning it's all web based). Add it to your home screen for an app-ish experience.

Can't delete inputted data. When try to delete, the data remains no matter how many times o try to delete.

It's a good product but let's be assured that it can't 100% trusted

@francis_king you can also run it on your own server - 100% under your control.
