Hey everyone,
I’m currently working on app to tackle this exact issue. I haven’t been satisfied with Exist.io or Gyroscope for similar reasons that were stated. The lack of customization and data sources have left me wanting more. The goal with the app is to give a lot of flexibility to create custom dashboards and to focus on power users at the early stage.
Depending on how solid the APIs are, we’d like to integrate with a bunch of health apps, productivity apps, social media, custom spreadsheets, custom databases, weather, Github (and related), note taking apps, and whatever else our users want. For dashboard widgets, we have plans to create a lot of standard chart types (line charts, bar charts, etc.), maps, markdown widgets, maps, etc… There are also spots in the architecture where we’d like to allow the users to write custom code and custom queries to really let power users get the data shaped the way they want.
We are trying to learn from other apps so that we can scale up the number of data sources and to allow for a lot of flexibility. This app is specifically being made with the Quantified Self folks in mind towards so if anyone wants to discuss, feel free to email me at jljorgenson18@gmail.com. We would LOVE to interview potential users and it would help us out a ton to see what you guys would want in a product.
Also, we aren’t certain about the timeline yet but the hope is to have an invite only version of the app ready in a few months for iOS, Android, and Web. If there is an interest, I can send a link when it’s ready.
