- jasonjmcghee 3y agoAn easy one for me is programming. This kind of approach the only way I know how to be able to go back in time and recognize / resurrect your thought process. But there's little thorns it solves all over. Ever experienced knowing you did something X days ago but it's in the past and there's literally no way to go back and look at it? Ideally, it solves that. Version control / history is great if the app supports it, but depending on how it works, "a month ago" might not be available.
- diggan 3y agoAt one point I was considering building something similar for myself. Basic idea was something like: Take one screenshot every second, caption the image somehow and keep both things around forever. Add in some adapters that can extract more information (if the browser was active last minute, gather all URLs from that minute and categorize, and so on with different things) and put everything into one location. Purpose for doing this would be to get a database I can search/query when I kind of know what I'm looking for, but I cannot remember exactly what it was. Being able to query "show me all websites I've never visited before, but visited first time in week 35" would help me a lot to find those easier. Also just having a recorded log of everything I'm doing would be helpful to see where I'm spending my time the most.
