Great news. Any plans on open sourcing or providing hooks/API (would love to be able to create automatic loggers to avoid manual data entry).
- sahillavingia 15y ago
  Yes, definitely.

    Web hooks would be nice. Open-sourcing would be GREAT! Especially for those of us who prefer to host their own da(y)ta. Just downloaded it, and it is something I've been wanting to build for a long time, but just didn't get around to it. I would gladly collaborate, would you decide to open-source it. Congratulations on a great (and beautiful!) app.

this isn't related to datum at all, is it? also, the web version doesn't seem to support entering data?

I've been looking an app like this for android. Any suggestions? I'm not sure I'd want to store all my personal data using the web app.

  I'd love to have Dayta for Android, but I'm no good at Android yet. Anyone want to help?

    Would Mono [Touch/Droid] be of any help in this scenario?

Got your app when you were handing out redeem codes. Good stuff. Maybe open sourcing would be a logical next step? :)

  +1 for open sourcing. I'd love to help! This functionality is something I've been wanting to create for a long time, and was starting to get serious about it until I saw your app today. (My approach would have been far less user friendly though, using javascript / js data structures to store data, keep the whole app in a folder stored in Dropbox.)

What is this and why do I care? The blog post is vague and the link just takes me to the "download itunes" page.

  A cool iPhone app made by a well known HN user.

Does this mean you're not going to fix the newest update, which broke the iPhone app?
- kegss 15y ago
  +1: bought it just before the free update, but haven't Been able to use it, crashes when you breathe on it wrong.
  - malvim 15y ago
    I got it yesterday, just after the free-ization announcement, had not heard of it before. I seem to have been able to pinpoint my (frequent) crashes: It crashes whenever I try to open the visualization for a data log that has a goal. Is that what is happening to you as well?
    - kegss 15y ago
      Entries on some items seem to explode as well. Keep meaning to load the crash log and send it off, but haven't had time.
