Nicholas Felton, the man behind the Feltron Reports and Daytum, has a new app out, Reporter. He says on his blog
“Reporter’s random prompts to answer a survey had made tracking the year a breeze and helped me to investigate questions that would have been impossible to answer using other methods. I was interested in who I spent time with, but to track this in an ongoing basis is a full-time job. I added questions for what I was wearing, eating or drinking and if I was working or not… and we streamlined the process to ensure that a report only took seconds to answer. We also added in background sampling to get information from the phone on the weather, my location and the ambient noise level.”
I loved Daytum and at one point was using it quite extensively. I wanted to use it to track which of my ties are my favourites, but couldn’t find a way of neatly naming them (the blue-ish purple-ish TM Lewin one, the more regimented gold-ish Van Buck one). I can’t see this new app helping with that question especially, but it’ll be fun to do the quantified self thing again for a while.
