I have been looking for something like this for YEARS. Thank you! I just signed up and I'm browsing through it--would there be some way to easily share this data with a doctor? Thank you, @bscofield, for creating it, and @chadfowler, for sharing!
@KikiSchirr Thanks! You can export your data at any time from your settings page, but it currently only gives you JSON (which isn't very doctor-friendly :)
I've thought a bit about sharing data both on the platform and via API, but haven't made any final decisions yet. Are you currently sharing other quantified-self data (Fitbit, etc.) with your doctor?
@bscofield@KikiSchirr Would be interested to see any plans for an API! We built very simple email-based mood tracking into Exist, and it's been one of our most (surprisingly) popular features so far. Seems like it's a rarity for mood tracking apps to have APIs.
@BelleBCooper Sure thing -- right now, the only thing I've made public is the export format for Moodprint data. It's basically what I envision for the core of the API, but there are a ton of details to work out beyond just that.
One of Moodprint's guiding principles is that *your data* is *yours*, so getting the API right is critical. I'd love to see that become more widespread in the QS ecosystem, and I'm really excited to see that Exist is already working on that.
@bscofield Gotcha. Yep, definitely agree the more available your data is from tracking services, the better. Hoping to see that happen much more in the future :)
Big fan of email-first startups, which is how Product Hunt actually began. We should do a collection of startups that began as a simple email list. Off the top of my head, it would include AngelList, Sunrise, iDoneThis, Craiglist, and Timehop.
@rrhoover Absolutely! Email is massively underappreciated (my guess would be because it's omnipresent -- it's like water or air at this point, which we only really notice when it's messed up). Using email, especially for an MVP, is a great option.
@rrhoover that would be a cool collection. I forgot that a couple of these were email-first. Pretty inspiring.
People (myself included) tend to forget how pervasive email still is as the killer app of the internet.
My family and I have had a rough year (deaths, etc.). We've been in the alpha and beta tests of moodprint and it's been really helpful to keep track of how we're feeling over time. It's easy to get lost in every day stress and forget to consider yourself in a more meaningful way.
I also really like the signup/login flow and the simplicity of the interactions. I wouldn't expect myself to keep up with something like this but it's hard not to. The semi-randomness of the emails makes it not feel like a chore.
Thanks, @chadfowler and @rrhoover!
I've been working on Moodprint in some form or other for almost a year now; existing mood tracking all seemed both too demanding (I have to remember to open an app or something?) and too inflexible (my mood is not just a number on a 1-5 scale). I'm really excited to see Moodprint -- and the insights that it reveals -- helping people, and there's a lot more of that in the pipeline.
I'd love to hear feedback or answer questions anyone might have!
Report
Excited to try this out and see what kind of insight it can show over time.
Agreed on the e-mail first angle, big fan of this. One of my favorites was OhLife (though they are shutting down...) And - though I may be in the minority, I've found myself interacting with TimeHop much less since they switched off of the e-mail digest.
@nayafia@maxawebster I hadn't seen Niko Niko; thanks!
I've talked to a few people about Moodprint for teams, which would be somewhat similar to what Niko Niko appears to be -- that's pretty far down the roadmap, though. Right now, I'm most interested in helping individuals (rather than groups) understand their moods.
