Show HN: Weave – A tool to track how your habits work together (idiotlamborghini.com)

4 points by nilirl ↗ HN
In 2014, I read the most impactful advice on how to progress long-term goals: In the book Fat Loss Happens on Monday, Josh Hillis opened Chapter 6 with an anecdote about how he catapulted himself from a novice to a trainer who got results by convincing his clients to keep a food log.

After success with that, I ran with the idea of tracking small movements towards a large goal. It felt like carving something out with many small, precise cuts. I kept logs for EVERYTHING, and then when I reviewed them together, I could see how pursuing one goal affected the others.

I made Weave to make that comparison more powerful.

Weave is an event-based structured journal. It allows you to focus on different parts of your life and then makes it more straightforward to see how they fit together.

Weave compresses and packages your data every month so you can download and store it forever. You can play around with the demo here: https://www.idiotlamborghini.com/strategies/weave

Thank you for reading!

This reminds me of Exist[1], although their inputs are mostly automatic and so the data quickly becomes overwhelming and tautological ("you spend more time active when you work out for a longer distance"). Glad to see another entry into this space.

The "screenshot" is interactive - I initially missed that.

Before I made this, I used a notebook for each log. Then I'd review them at the end of the day.

The splicing together is what software makes easier.

If you reach out to me on twitter, I'll give you a free account. If you'd like that. (you can find my twitter from the blog linked above)
