No doubt an awesome website, but I do worry about allowing things like this to be posted. Do you guys think it's okay to post things that aren't products? Is there a risk in that? Will it just become a free for all like HN?

@davehariri yeah good point. I think concepts like this, that are shared should have near-term potential to be productized.

@jongold Agreed I checked it out a couple of days ago and thought it didn't fall into a product by definition.

@iorahul great feedback, everyone. I'm honestly very conflicted about this post. First off, it's AWESOME, but it's not a product that people can use (e.g. I can't create my own quantified visualization as much as I'd love to). I saw this late (I have to sleep sometimes) and see it's already received a lot of (deserved) love but it does stretch the boundaries of a "product" and when this happens, it's easy for Product Hunt to get too far off topic. I hate doing this but especially with all the new visitors, April Zero might add confusion. We recently updated our FAQ. I'd appreciate any feedback and suggestions on this topic!

@aprilzero has done an impressive job. I definitely think this should be productize. I'm using roughly the same trackers, but can't make any sense of the data for myself. This feels like something I want to have for myself.

@nikitakorotaev I feel the same way, many people would pay big bucks to be able to see all of their key metrics in a dashboard format, especially when it involves exercise, health, travel, etc.

@krrishd what's the scope of the business potential here?
Krish Dholakiya
Two reasons for posting this: 1) an amazing UI worth learning from 2) potential for a SaaS or self-hosted products for people who want to keep track of similar metrics

That design is LOVELY.
Helen Crozier
it's amazing... I'm so into that data but have never seen it presented like this before.

This is awesome. There was also 0 sacrifice of speed to make those brilliant visualizations. I was up at RISD last month and saw similar visualizations of personal data at their design museum -- awesome to see someone adapt and improve on that. The mash up of all this personal data could really reveal some interesting things: physical activity when traveling, combine daily activity with weather, calories burned, food consumed, stress levels (perhaps using heart beats as a proxy) during various times of year / certain events. Stellar stuff
