We are focusing primarily on integrating more platforms in order to make the metric more relevant to everyone. Some platforms DO integrate other app; however, we are trying to aggregate data in a way that makes it easier to compare. Nudge will become more and more passive as we continue to integrate.
We have more on the way, so keep your eyes peeled! Thanks!

Yeah that is a great point. Funny enough, the original platform we launched about 18 months ago was geared exclusively for corporate wellness, but after reading the market we realized there was a significant niche here in comparison amongst friends using different tracking applications.
I say all this because I think we realized even B2B platforms need to have consumer appeal to be successful. I think once we are able to integrate more platform and build and more social hooks, it will be more appealing to users. Love your feedback though - think you have some wonderful points.

Yeah there are some great platforms out there like TicTrac and Runkeeper but the value in our platform is certainly going to be the algorithm. Aggregating data for personal use is something those companies are doing well, but we thought there was an interesting niche in regards to quantified selfers being able to compare each other, independent of lifestyles or tracking applications.

I think to an individual at the moment the segments MAY be more useful than the metric itself; however, the value of the metric becomes more apparent when comparing individuals or populations. I know I get really excited about the prospect of being able to better index cities, states, etc. That is really interesting observation though.

Yeah, great to hear someone else mention the logging circles - will definitely talk to the team about that.
Fitbit is definitely on our list of integrations and we are trying to integrate as quickly as we can. Once you sign up we can keep you posted with upcoming releases.
Thanks a lot for the feedback!

We have actually had a few people mention that recently and I definitely want to look more into it. How has your experience been with it?

Yeah, we are working on that update right now. Hopefully will be releasing that within the next week.
Really appreciate the feedback!

We are attempting to aggregate and index people's health tracking data using our proprietary algorithm into one healthy living score. Would love feedback on UX as well as general concept.
Thank you, Mac
