Looks great! My website has a /life page (https://anandchowdhary.com/life) where I track all my life & health data, including:

  - yearly themes and quarterly personal OKRs
  - my live location (yes, really)
  - books I read, music I listen to
  - biomarkers, health and fitness data, sleep records
They are all tracked on GitHub as open source JSON APIs: https://github.com/AnandChowdhary/life and built using GitHub Actions.


Cool page! Maybe you can ask some data brokers what interoperability standards they use so you can provide the correct file to them, perhaps even negotiate a good price for the data ;)


Haha indeed... if it helps, I built https://stethoscope.js.org where I used official & unofficial APIs and takeout exports to compile everything in one place.


This looks cool! I'll have to look into it :)


> quarterly personal OKRs

Good grief, what happens when you don't meet them? Do you put yourself on a PIP?


This is really cool! I hope to get to something that looks like this one day. Love how your 'Move in to new house' KPI is at 119%

You've got a pretty awesome website! Is this made using NextJS?



Indeed! I redesign my personal website every few years (https://anandchowdhary.com/about/versions) and use a different stack every time.


Haha the OKR progress is also dependent on how far we are in the quarter, so if I do something too quickly, it has the tendency to go above 100%.


For location, I don’t see a pin but see a window centered on an area in Utrecht. Is the centerpoint supposed to be cords of your location?

Cool idea!


I only store the geolocation up to 2 decimal places so it's rounded a little to not expose my precise-precise location, but more of a city-level location (source: https://github.com/AnandChowdhary/location/blob/d82432169621...).


This data is super dangerous to reveal. Unless you provide fake data to fool strangers deliberately.


Which parts are dangerous to the average chum with no enemies?


Live location


I don't think knowing what city he's in is particularly dangerous.


He got a new house (likely with new furniture and appliances). Best time to rob the house is when he is in a different city.


Haha that's true. I do only store the geolocation up to 2 decimal places so it's rounded a little, but people do find out when I leave town. Luckily I have camera/alarm systems/etc. but maybe my insurance will tell me I brought this on myself. I even had https://x.com/anandstalker live-tweeting it before Twitter made their API too expensive.


The overwhelming majority of burglars are not doing online reconnaissance to establish where one person might be, when you can just drive by and see if there are cars parked there, or just kick in the door and see if anyone yells.


maybe I do... we'd never know!


You have an eye for beautiful design


Thank you, kind stranger. :)


I love this! Nice work!
