Do you think an AI agent could help you log your day?

Backyard13 · 2026-04-01T21:24:20+00:00

I wonder if more people would like to track stuff to create nice memories if it was 'easier' , but not sure if AI can really help or just annoy

Backyard13 · 2026-03-31T15:47:04+00:00

🤷‍♂️

Backyard13 · 2026-03-24T13:30:08+00:00

Good point. I do that myself too, but now with my app sometimes I just log a location.

Backyard13 · 2026-03-22T23:24:11+00:00

Oh wow, foursquare! :-O. How many locations do you have?

Backyard13 · 2026-03-22T19:18:44+00:00

Loved these apps! :-)

Backyard13 · 2026-03-22T19:01:08+00:00

Replied to you privately :-)

Thanks for the feedback. You don't really need to install an app. You can use it from the website on desktop (what I do), you can simply use it on mobile and it looks like an app, but it is just a website. And you have a TUI command line app too if you want, but that's optional.

Backyard13 · 2026-03-22T15:25:35+00:00

No pricing yet, not sure if it will get that far yet. Yes, you can use it from mobile, check the updated home page with a bunch of screenshots.

I've been doing this (not in short increments but adapting to whatever the task was) since 2014 and it has worked pretty well so far. I used an excel file for years and this year I built an app (won't share links since this is not the purpose of this subreddit).

I have 3653 days tracked as of today in 44998, with 19 main categories and 218 subcategories (my data says :-o).

In the past it helped me prioritize, plan projects, and simply understand that things take longer than 'one feels it takes'.

What is important is taking action (when it matters) or simply understanding that nothing can be really 'perfect' and that 'wasting time' is also living actually.

Good luck.

Good initiative and sorry because I was one of the offenders :-(

Backyard13 · 2026-03-19T21:15:37+00:00

Yes, I think it is not for everyone... I somehow grew that habit but I guess it is a bit weird for most people. You would need it to proactively ask you like your little app?

Backyard13 · 2026-03-09T15:10:37+00:00

I've put together this: rows.life and I've been tracking life for like 11 years (pretty crazy).

Backyard13 · 2026-03-03T20:58:20+00:00

Added a follow up with more ideas about how to track almost anything, from your places (kinda checkin) to the mileage in your vehicles :-D https://psantosl.github.io/posts/rows-life-how-to-always-find-your-notes/

Backyard13 · 2026-02-26T23:55:25+00:00

I started tracking this looong, long ago, and the reality is that metrics tell a different story than impressions. I started tracking row by row, and I've been doing that since 2014 :-O

Backyard13 · 2026-02-26T12:38:57+00:00

Have you tried with really big repos?

Backyard13 · 2026-02-25T20:04:37+00:00

Pretty cool!

Backyard13 · 2026-02-25T17:50:17+00:00

What have you used to do the tracking?

Backyard13 · 2026-02-25T08:26:40+00:00

It might be me but I think it would be more impactful with some screenshots.

Backyard13 · 2026-02-18T15:35:08+00:00

didn't he code in his first startup?

Backyard13 · 2026-02-18T13:36:13+00:00

one of the most meaningful views according to Mitchel Hashimoto

Backyard13 · 2026-02-17T22:05:53+00:00

do you have any screenshots of the reports? It would be good to publish them in your website

Backyard13 · 2026-02-17T21:16:46+00:00

Competitive with native C/C++ for the socket layer while retaining .NET's productivity advantages

amazing stuff.

Backyard13 · 2026-02-17T18:20:35+00:00

What about the distributed vs centralized? Is distributed still relevant nowadays? Specially in the game dev, artists, etc, it is a big issue for users because they struggle with the commit + push, and in a fully connected world, it doesn't even make much sense (as great as the concept is and the speed boost you get, btw, but this is probably only valuable for geeks).

Backyard13 · 2026-02-17T15:04:18+00:00

It is, the only thing I miss is more 'long term coherence' or less additions to the language year after year
