Are the features you want basically simple? Do you have a specific list of features in mind that you want and that other products don’t offer, or are you just vaguely dissatisfied with current products?
In my mind a mood tracker app is just a frontend for a simple database table, but am I missing something? Do you have a theory of why the other products didn’t get it right?
Yes, it’s very simple. Things that I often find I want:
*a daily tracker that allows me to input a value every day for something I want to track, PLUS a view that allows me to see my past stats over time
*for food tracking, quicker lookups to the database of foods (this is the time-consuming part)
*a food and exercise tracker that has both a database of foods and a database of exercises (MyFitnessPal believes that weight training burns zero calories)
HabitRPG is my main home-base productivity tool but it doesn’t allow me to look at stats.
A mood-tracker app on the phone sends randomized reminders and allows you to input a value (your mood) and a word (the activity you’re doing at the time). For some reason, I haven’t found a happiness tracker that allows you to look at a graph of mood over time.
I imagine that my frustrations with food and exercise trackers are either technical (maybe database lookups are inherently hard) or due to my eccentricities (most people only do cardio). I can’t imagine why it’s so rare for self-trackers of all kinds to show trends over time.
