I was actually building something like that for myself.

Would you use it if you had to manually log it?

Yeah. Having to manually log to /some/ extent is actually my expectation; it just has to be simpler than typing out a whole log entry. I don't want to type out

"dec 02 2016 Hung out with Alex and Sammy, talked about Star Wars and whether Darth Maul or Qui-Gon would win in a fistfight, Sammy was backing Darth Maul and won the argument"

I don't have any ideas to improve that in any way, I don't know if it CAN be improved without some element of literal mind-reading, I just know that typing out the above is inadequate, it's too clunky, time-consuming, and conspicuous.

What about a Speech-to-text solution? Don't have to take the time to pull out your notebook or type on your phone's screen. Just tap a button on a headset or tell GNow to add a log entry, and speak the entry.

Communication; the next best thing to reading minds!

Interesting. I initially thought people might be comfortable typing like that and letting the app parse it all out. Thought it might be more natural than filling out a form.

What would you expect or be willing to time out instead?
