make the chart time-based and not data-based

2009-10-10T19:30:03-07:00

an anonymous user suggested:
If you make the chart show the same level for the period of time between the last update and the current update, it will show you data based on changes over time. In other words, say I have an 8 on September 1st. Say I update again on October 1st and put it at 10. The chart will only show that I jumped from 8 to 10. Not very useful. What is useful is to see for all of September I was hanging out at 8, and had nothing of such a severe level that warranted a change in my level. That is, until October 1st came along. So if it showed me at an 8 for all of Sept, and I see that, I'm like ok something cool happened on Sept 1st and that was the last major thing. Now this other thing that happened to me on Oct 1st, that was even more awesome, but it was the most dramatic thing that had happened to affect my mood since Sept 1st. Basically this will show you that it wasn't just some sudden jump from 8 on Sept 1st to 10 on Oct 1st. It will show you that until the 10 on Oct 1st you were chillin' at 8 for all of Sept. Duration is a big factor in mood swings. The way the graph shows things now makes it look like our mood swings are all kinds of erratic. Putting a time-based chart in will help us realize that we've been more stable for longer than the chart currently shows. Cuz it currently looks like we're not very stable at all, unless you've got the time to sit here each day and put something in so it actually displays something that looks like time-based tracking versus entry-based tracking.

Let you reasons be edited to be more specific [updated]

I have added my reasons for being sad or happy, but would like to update them so that I can refine them so they are more specific

you can edit your reasons via the Edit Data link in the top bar. Is this what you mean?

as moods are not always just happy or depressed, this application would be fairly useless for say someone with manic depression.

add a sleep feature

Add facebook notification on mood update [updated]

2008-12-30T16:06:58-08:00

Luca said:

I think the user should specify if he was to show only mood value or causes of the mood too, because sometime it can be something personal, like relationship fact, health, money troubles, lottery win, etc..

Maybe this could be a setting per time or a global privacy setting

Let me to unlink auntie from gmail side [is now declined]

2008-12-13T00:53:22-08:00

My previous facebook account was removed, so I need to unlink auntie from my mail. Or better, register the same mail from another facebook account such that all previous data will persist. Now it tell me that the mail is in use, I would like to link it again in some manner and my data should be linked with the last facebook with which I made the request.

2008-10-29T06:38:56-07:00

I'm going to implement some javascript that lets you hover over the chart to see when each point was recorded and the datapoint's associated tags. This will be a nice new way to explore the data (and will also help me track down a bug!)

make it show report sources reported (phone / IM / etc..)

Authorisation code for aunty grimes [updated]

2008-10-23T00:17:26-07:00

I had difficulty finding this code in the settings section on Facebook for the application.

Luca said:

Ive had the same problem: it could be more visible, or findable in an intuitive way, when waiting for authorization.
Since this code appears only after auth request and previous user response, it could be put in the top of settings page and evidentiated as a propemory until the authorization process has end.
A close button could undo the authorization request and remove that promemory.

come up with a way to group similar tags [updated]

2008-10-16T14:41:13-07:00

perhaps via language rules, perhaps when editing data (maybe it would be nice to drag a tag onto another tag in the tag cloud to combine the two into one)

Luca said:

The base would probably be a good implementation of link between tags, there are standard graph implementation, I dont know the backend architecture but a link betheen 2 tags will probably end in the DB in a pair of 2 tags, tag A is correlated with B if there is an entry (A,B). Other entries can define the kind and weight of the repationship, allowing future extensions.

surely herarchic grouping is a step over and need a proper design, the same for a clustering algorithm, even if given a graph of tag with links between tags there are various standard algorithms to guess clusters.

I have facebook in italian and dont know the english for different notifications kind, I know they can be placed in my profile home and in other homepage feed, 2 different settings could be done

Work on improving the tag cloud data quality [updated]

2008-10-15T02:13:18-07:00

At the moment, tag clouds linearly link up mood ratings with 'happy' or 'sad'. However, it feels like it would make more sense to make these clouds track changes in mood. The tags should really relate to something that cheered you up or made you less happy, rather than trying to map everything onto some arbitrary absolute scale

Luca said:

Examples for previous:
> Single tag value to sum to the average value 5 obtaining the final value:
message:
+2 eaten, +1 seen my sister, -1 raining
total become: 5+2+1-1=7
> Single total resume with factors weights
7 2 eaten, 1 seen my sister, -1 raining
total:7
in this case each tag is recorded with its value but doesnt affect the total mood wich is taken from the first number

Luca said:

Hierarchic grouping can be useful, for instance the user can say his mood is low for rain, and after his mood is low for snow, and then put rain and snow as subtag of "bad weather", so a statistical analysis can take snow and rain together.
An automatic clustering algorithm could be implemented after, such that it propose groups of linked tags to be labeled as single cluster by the user.

Luca said:

Im using now italian words as tag, and sometimes composite phrases, in general I think that an user-driven grouping method (like manual, on proposal, graphical, by multiple selection, etc..) could be more effective for all people who use complex phrases or not english words.

If you know exactly how the algorithm works, it's much easier to use it as a tool:

If your mood is better than your last mood, your tags go in the happy cloud
If your mood is worse than your last mood, your tags go in the sad cloud
If your mood is the same as your last mood and has a score of 7 or above, it goes in the happy cloud. 3 or below and it goes in the sad one.

A benefit of not having a proportional time-axis to the chart is that it doesn't bias against two reports being made one after the other. The way I've been using it to record complex moods is first to say a lower mood with that moods tags, then raise it back up to a higher mood with tags that relate to improvements in happiness.

I'd rather leave the tagging open (especially considering the process that would be involved keeping the tags consistent via mobile or IM), and then group tags during analysis (setting up rules for tired=tiredness etc...). These aren't pure tags all the time -sometimes they're more like notes.
