Re:Coffee Stats – Maximize Caffeine Intake and Get to Bed at Night on Monday September 23, 2024 @09:21AM (#41625807)

The visualization has really helped me understand how caffeine is affecting me, and it has been very helpful in curbing my caffeine intake when it has gotten away from me. As an added bonus, the app has a lot of caffeine data on common drinks on the market.

One solution might entail everyone synchronizing their smart phones....
