  1. Se see many ideas of integration with different services, but if perhaps you could integrate with IFTTT you could integrate with them all.

    We’ve been accepted as an IFTTT channel! We hope to launch this in January!

    UPDATE: Embarrassingly it took us until May but it’s SO AWESOME. We have both Triggers and Actions and even have Macros to help turn anything and everything into beemindable numbers.

  2. Retroratcheting down to 2 days of saftey buffer is almost never what I want to do. Please let the user specify how many safe days to keep when retroratcheting.

  3. As weight loss/gain ultimately happens if there is a calorie surplus/deficit over the long run, I'd really like to integrate with the Fitbit Foodplan goal.

    Specifically, I want to have a goal so I can specify that I want to have a deficit of x calories per day.
    If I track my consumed calories with fitbit, my daily score is (calories consumed) - (calories burned).
    If I do not track my consumed calories with fitbit, my daily score is 0.

  5. My goal is to save $3000 in 3 months. There is not goal category for "Save Money" so I chose the only one that seemed compatible - "Do More". When I set a goal using the Do More category it automatically makes a one year goal and automatically sets the points needed to 12,768 (?!). Why can't I set the end date for 3 months from now and why can't I make the points needed match dollars saved? The interface throughout Beeminder is baffling.

  7. For instance, if I click "rose colored dots" on the legend, it hides that line from appearing on my graph. I don't really care about seeing that line, so it would be nice if I could just turn it off.

  8. Maybe it's just a documentation issue, but I can't figure out how to bring back archived goals, or interact with them in any way. Are they actually deleted?

  9. http://getpocket.com/

    We should also integrate with Instapaper but I have the impression that Pocket is the new hotness.

    We've migrated to forum.beeminder.com and beeminder.consider.it for things like this but are doing a bit of cleanup to make sure we didn't miss any old integration requests.

    Anyway, Pocket integration is done!

  10. I'm pretty sure that if you "stop all email (except legitimacy links)" via the link at the bottom of emails it works as described, until you add (a) new goal(s), when the setting is undone and emails are sent (by default behaviour) for the new goal(s).

    This should be easy to replicate. In addition, a way to activate this feature from email settings would be great.

  12. I've been using Zapier a lot lately, and it's a quick and easy way to integrate with services. Although Beeminder native integrations work perfectly, it would be great to be able to connect it with the 200+ services available on Zapier.

  13. Every day it will post something. There's no advantage to posting a datapoint with value 0, and it clutters the commit history.

  15. This one seems to be taking off. They just bought BodyMedia.

    I think Omron is the most popular pedometer of all but I don't think those pedometers upload their data.

  16. For people who already use Foursquare, this would make Beeminder wholly subsume the functionality of GymPact. It could also support more general goals like "socialize more".

    Personally, I'd be more excited about Placeme or Geoloqi integration (or maybe Google Latitude or something could do this too) where you don't have to explicitly check in like on Foursquare.

  17. I find that sometimes I have what I think is a great idea for a goal. So I create it, and get going. And within a day, or maybe two, it becomes clear that the goal is poorly thought out.

    At the moment, there's nothing I can do about it! My current approach is to enter some dummy "safe" (enough so I wont derail in a week), mark the goal for archival, and then send it to the bottom of my goals screen. And then I have to wait 7 days for it to vanish. In the mean time I…

  18. Specify a Twitter handle (which need not be one you own) and optionally a hashtag. Every time a tweet is tweeted from the given Twitter handle with the given hashtag, add 1 to your Beeminder graph (with the tweet text as the Beeminder comment).

    Since a lot of services have auto-tweet functionality, you can then trivially beemind any of them.

  19. At the moment, the iPhone app does not allow you to add a comment along with your data. I use comments for various things, and they are very important to the goal. For these goals, I have to use the web interface. (Which is awkward, because for some of them, I am not near a computer, by nature of the goal.) It would be handy if the iPhone app allowed me to enter comments along with my data.

  20. Beeminder uses a number of neologisms and uncommon words, and it would be handy and helpful if they were defined somewhere that was easy to find. This would be especially helpful for newbies but probably occasionally useful for more experienced users as well.

    A few examples:
    - yellow brick road (partly explained in graph legend, but the basic concept is not described there)
    - akrasia horizon
    - akrasia, for that matter
    - derail/rerail (see below)

    Actual case in point (perhaps this should be a support email but I'll leave it here for now): Right now, my "time until derailment" readout…
