I haven't dived into the code much so the answer might be obvious. But, where would this trackers live? Would I have to host them somewhere (I presume they can be written in whatever language I want since you have an API)? Or how would that work.

Do you have any plans on adding a "manual entry" form or something? I'd love to use this to track how many cigarettes I smoke per day for instance (currently I'm using a small app I made myself).

For the moment, the only tracker is the web navigation tracker and it lives as a chrome extension, using the API and jsonp, it sends events to reportr.io or your own instance.

For trackers for Facebook (twitter, github ...), I planned to add a system of addons to add in one click a tracker for the service (which use the Facebook API), but I'm not sure yet what is the best implementation for this. For the moment, you can use the API (or a library : python or javascript) to track events with scripts.

No manual entry yet, but it'll be added soon. But you can write a python script (10 lines of code) to do it for you : https://gist.github.com/SamyPesse/6859673

Pretty cool! It took me a few minutes to figure out how exactly to send data, but a quick php-script did the trick!

Really this is what I have been thinking about building myself, awesome that you actually built it! I think I found a github project that I actually would love and can contribute to!

No worries, I'm Slovenian :)

Cool, I'll definitely keep an eye on this project!
