thing-a-month (awareness)
The second thing-a-month project is a "random time tracker" I'm calling tinyping.
It works a bit like TagTime and is good for getting a better awareness of moods and how I (and others) spend our time.
There are two big challenges here for me:
- Understanding enough of the statistics to get useful results. I think I've already go an OK understanding, but this will test that assumption. However, it looks like the underlying math is actually fairly simple! (1, 2)
- Building something that can ask for discreet updates in enough places to be useful. This probably means making a native app of some kind eventually to use the right notifications APIs.
I started this in March and continued into April with the goal of getting something usable by the end of the month. That didn't quite happen, and I dropped thing-a-month at the end of that month. Tinyping lives on, but not as a thing-a-month project.
