Exist (now on mastodon)

We're officially bowing out of what used to be Twitter, and won't be using this account any more. We're giving mastodon a try, so if you want to keep up with what we're working on, see you over there! @hellocodeco" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.social/@hellocodeco

"10,000 steps a day" was always just a marketing gimmick. But new studies show that most people would benefit from getting at least 8,000 every day scientificamerican.com/article/you-do…

New on the Hello Code blog: why we care about building Exist in public, and how Changemap fits into our process hellocode.co/blog/post/chan…

@Atomic_Wing There’s some info about our plans on our public roadmap: changemap.co/hellocode/exis…

@ExistApp as Darksky API goes down end of this week, any alternative found or just no more updates on those metrics?

The results of our 2022 user feedback survey are up! hellocode.co/blog/post/exis… High-level summary: manual tracking is a hit, and our next big focus is to do more cool stuff with your data. Thanks to everyone who took the time to fill out the survey!

How to run an experiment on yourself, according to @mold_time: slimemoldtimemold.com/2023/01/19/n1-…

@pendolino Absolutely :) changemap.co/hellocode/exis…

@ExistApp you guys still developing this app?

Merry Christmas to you if you're into that kinda thing, and a reminder that we'll be sending out your 2022 In Review email early next year! See you in 2023 🎆

We sent out our 2022 user survey email this week! Have you filled it in yet? Your feedback is super useful in guiding us in what we should focus on in 2023.

The public GitHub repo for our developer docs has been updated to match our new API v2 docs, built on MkDocs. github.com/hellocodeco/ex…

Shipped my first ever new feature for the @ExistApp web app today! We now have a review tab to match our mobile apps, where you can manually track data. Learned a *lot* while working on this. Very excited to ship it!

A product that I have been loving for a long long time is Exist. exist.io I love how the builders @joshsharp and @BelleBCooper have been building this slowly, and also in public for so many years. They show their business income and future roadmap in public

@joshvickerson Thanks, I'll look into that. Is this the latest beta version?

@ExistApp noticed an odd bug on iOS where the toggle switches in data settings can affect each other’s state. Video shows what I mean… going back then into settings again seems to reset them to the correct states though

Announcing the public release of API 2 to all users! Developers can now take advantage of all our new custom attributes and manual tracking features. We've also created a guide to writing a client, so beginner programmers can jump in too. developer.exist.io

@joshvickerson Ah, you shouldn't be able to make tags with uppercase letters in their names. Thanks for pointing this out, I'll look into it.

@ExistApp bit of an unexpected sorting behavior here. Tags that start with a capital letter are sorted before those with lowercase 🤔

@kent_boogaart @BearableApp Unlikely as they don't have an API, I'm afraid. They could integrate with our API though, so if they're open to sending data to Exist, we're up for it! 👋

@ExistApp Hello, any chance of a @BearableApp integration? I suspect not because I don't think they have an API, but want to throw the ask out there anyway.

@malr Aw thank you! That means a lot and I'm glad it was so helpful to you.

@ExistApp As someone who spent a lot of time on your v1 API docs and used it to interact with an OAuth API for the first time, I can say that it’s an incredible treasure. I learned a lot and I know others will find value in your work.

Turns out, writing a guide on how to use our API is a whole lot of work! I hope it'll be a useful resource for anyone looking to get started with accessing their data programmatically.

@jmvdpal Thanks for your support! Spreading the word helps us out a lot ☺️
