Show HN: My one month side-project, Lucid Tracker: a daily life tracking tool

Hi Matt,

It looks great. I really like that there are simple answers (yes/no!)

I wish there were a notification system, though. Like an option for "If I haven't made a report by ?pm, send me an email to remind me."

Or "If I haven't made a report for x number of hours, remind me."

Maybe implement it as an opt-in and opt-out list that's stored separately, so that your server doesn't have to poll every single account all the time.

The hardest part I have of tracking is remembering to track, and that would really help.

That's a great idea -- thanks!

For now, try just getting through the first few days. After that it becomes more of a habit and you're less likely to forget. A sticky note can help too :)

I actually set Google Calendar to send me an email at 6pm every day to update the tracker.

But I'd rather it didn't send me an email if I'd already updated.
