Ask HN: How do you datamine yourself?
Hello HN!
I was thinking about collecting data about myself and using it to draw conclusions about correlations between my actions, feelings and health.<p>So far, I was not able to find a good way to track all this data. There seems to be no application I could find that
- I can host myself (this data is very sensitive)
- can track all properties I want via computer &#x2F; webinterface &#x2F; mobile app.
- is extensible<p>Apart from that I was thinking about what kind of data to track. So far I could come up with the following:
- data about health and physical activity like sports, step count, walking distance, weight
- movement profile
- Usage of my digital devices (computer, mobile device): When did I turn it on &#x2F; off, keystrokes count, display brightness, which apps &#x2F; websites did I use, meta data about messaging, ...<p>Most of the data will probably require a lot of effort to track. I would later not only draw conclusions about myself, but could also learn about data science.<p>I would also be interested if you do something like this and what kind of things you found out!<p>Thank you! :)
