Mentioned in my Quantified Self talk here at 1m 15s:

This led to the development of LifeSlice, which lets anyone do the same, and I now have s as decade of 30-min periodic selfies. Not sure what I’ll do with them all but it’s interesting to see myself age. :)
I don’t look angry, but can confirm that I’m at best expressionless when concentrating at the computer.

- davidthewatson 4y agoMy favorite part about this is that it captures pandiculation: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21665102/#:~:text=Pandiculation%20is%20the%20involuntary%20stretching,rhythm%20(Walusinski%2C%202006) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21665102/#:~:text=Pandiculat.... And makes me wonder whether a simple computer vision algorithm could classify frequency of pandiculation in the work and we could begin making correlations between pandiculation and perception of mood valence.
- sillysaurusx 4y agoText anchors only work on chrome desktop fyi. It sucks. I once spent all night making a cool lisp tutorial based on text anchors, then realized 80% of the world won’t see it since that’s the percentage of mobile traffic.
- BugsJustFindMe 4y agoIt works for me on mobile Safari.
- JimDabell 4y agoIt works on Safari / Mobile Safari from 16.1 onwards (the latest version).
- sillysaurusx 4y agoOh, finally. Thanks for pointing that out. Indeed I haven’t updated iOS in awhile. Guess I’ll ship that lisp tutorial then.
- Beldin 4y agoIt works for me on Chrome Android. Not even running the latest version, so it's probably working for a while already.

It's just a URL anchor syntax for when there's no applicable id attribute, you could recognize the syntax in Javascript and implement a "polyfill" on-page.
- wanderingstan 4y agoCool, "pandiculation" was a new term for me! Had not thought about the purpose of yawning and stretching before. For others curious, this page gave a better ELI5 definition for me: https://somaticmovementcenter.com/pandiculation-what-is-pandiculation/ https://somaticmovementcenter.com/pandiculation-what-is-pand...
- ad404b8a372f2b9 4y agoI'll add a nitpick to this ELI5 that pandiculation also happens when you are going to sleep, so it's only a way to "wake up" our muscles in a metaphorical sense.

- segmondy 4y agohmm, I had a script that took webcam selfie every minute for a year. I never thought to classify it till now. thanks, I'm going to make it again.
