What is Reddit's opinion of Gyroscope?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Data compiled from Gyroscope and the Moves app (RIP). I like exploring new areas so I often check the data and try to walk streets I've never walked before when I have the option to

Gyroscope did most of the work since it also had my imported Moves data. I exported the data from a web URL week by week to erase mapping errors and compiled the layers into an image. Took a few hours per city.

Went for a run this morning. Accidentally made a thumbs up. Gotta do something with the spare time.

On topic: This tour has become a pleasant surprise. After the first real test, it looked like it'd become a Sky snoozefest, but with individual riders overperforming, a whole team doing way better work than expected and one team who almost looks like it's falling apart, there's a lot more drama than expected. Also Baukema <3.

Google Maps does this, if you give it permission. GPS accuracy in the city is difficult, though.

There was also an app called Moves but Facebook is shutting it down at the end of the month.

There's a new-ish app called Gyroscope, but it's mapping features are still in beta and they are a bit flaky.

The best way to do this is with a hardware GPS tracking device. I've got one made by Bad Elf but they're a bit pricey for this purpose. It's MUCH more accurate than the GPS in my phone, though.

Gyroscope Health bills itself as an OS for your body, and they’re adding a location tracking feature this week which includes Moves data import. I’ve been a big fan of their activity and sleep information gathering, so I’m looking forward to their implementation!

Try Exist and Gyroscope - the former gives you a weekly collage of the media you've consumed (with correlations too if you're interested), while the latter lets you build reports on them too.

Yeah, I went from S0 to S3. What a difference! I usually only charge while in the shower and maybe for the half-hour following. Getting great heart rate and sleep data! I also use Gyroscope to visualize it all. Check it oot!

Try out Gyroscope, the personal dashboard powered by your life — https://gyrosco.pe/app/ ⚡️tell ‘em I sentcha! (Same username)

I'm thinking something like https://exist.io, or https://gyrosco.pe, that I would run on my own machine, that collates the data, and maybe provides some built in reports.

What spreadsheet do you use, and how are you providing data to it?

What do you actually want to measure with everyone? There are a number of running apps that integrate across multiple platforms. Gyroscope Health may be your best bet and is a dashboard app with Apple, Google and Fitbit integration. Mileage may very but it appears to be very social.

Human.co may have fitbit integration. I'm not 100% sure.

Record from Under Armor may work for just step tracking.

Very cool site, love the idea. You have a great taste in hip-hop, too!

I saw someone mentioning the jittery animations so I thought I'd share the one rule to achieving buttery smooth animations across all modern browsers: only animate/transition transform and opacity. When you transition anything else (like width, margin, background-position etc.), the browser needs to redraw the entire element, and then recalculate the positions of any elements following it in the document flow. By adding/removing classes and making use of the transition-delay property, you can achieve some pretty complex transitions using just opacity and transform.

I'd say the biggest reason for the jitteriness on your site is the animating of background-position on the body – changing the background position of an element is extremely computationally intensive. You'd see massive improvements by making the background its own element, and then animating a transform on it.

Same goes for the elements that move based on the cursor position, transforming them as opposed to changing their margins would improve site performance too.

EDIT: Just remembered this great article about web animations by the creator of AprilZero and Gyroscope, goes into a bit more detail about what I wrote if you're interested.

That's evolved into a cool service called Gyroscope, check it out! One of the most impressive web projects I've seen in a long time, it's mind-boggling how he managed to create something so complex (and beautiful).

I'm really glad I have all this data. I just wish I started using the app sooner.

I take heaps of photos on my phone, which saves GPS data. So that's also a cool way to look at your travels on a map. (You can use the Photos app on Mac.) I also use an awesome service called Gyroscope to visualize my Moves data and photos: http://imgur.com/DTC2dJc

How do you guys like to record and look at your travels?

Gyroscope doesn’t notify you about correlations (there are FDA regulations around what a health app can / cannot conclude for you), but it’s basically what you’re asking for since you can add notes to your day. Great resource once you get all the data sources hooked up!

I haven't used it, but I started tracking in excel about a year ago, and then came across https://gyrosco.pe/ which looked pretty nice, but wasn't solving the problem I had.

I was trying to figure out why I sometimes felt great with little sleep, and awful with lots of sleep. I just kept adding more and more things to an excel spreadsheet. When did I wake up, how late did I eat? Was my meal healthy? Did I have social activity at night? What time did I work out? How long? Cardio or other? The list went on and on.

I started building an app to track it all, and run some basic ML to recognize trends, 'cause it was too much to comprehend myself.

Then I found out that you can improve sleep using sound, and the more I researched that, the more I found that it didn't matter to me all these metrics I was tracking, they weren't going to solve my problem.

I stopped developing my app and started working on building a headband which monitors my sleep state, and uses sound to improve my sleep.

In early experiments, I went from being awake an average of 1hr 42 mins to just 32 mins. I also used our prototype to win the World Sleep Championships!

I still us my Oura ring when I meditate, and as an independent 3rd party to quantify the sleep classification we're doing, but that's about all.

Yes, I would be interested. I do not want to pay for Fitbit Premium, but I am paying for Gyroscope which has more insight and connects more sources in one: https://gyrosco.pe/

Check out https://gyrosco.pe/ you can connect Apple Health to transfer data automatically. It has a dashboard to display data on week/month/year basis for steps, workout, mindfulness, sleep etc. You are also able to set target goals for these and you can connect other apps like Rescuetime to track your digital productivity. It's $10 p/m for the pro version but worth every penny to improve and track your life data.

The most similar things I can think of would be Daylio and this https://gyrosco.pe/. I want to make something more customizable to individual health needs but that can also aggregate signals across the population. This way it could infer both effects that are individual, but also effects that are global and would be too close to the noise floor at an individual level. I'm going to start by just making it for myself and may expand from there. Let me know if you want to discuss further and we can do a call

I did give it a try, but then again for my standards/needs I have yet to find something that doesn't suck. All of them give you pretty basic charts and a limited range of values it can track. Gyroscope seemed to have a lot of hope, but it's pretty shit too. I'd kill for a decent app that lets me track any metric I choose, custom workout routines, HR, sleep, diet, etc. They all exist but it's a very fragmented market. MFP tracks diet and food really well, but sucks for exercise. Strava does well for runs and biking. 5x5 Strong Lifts is the only one that has been able to track workouts to any fine measure other than "did you do something" but even then it tracks it's own workout. This kinda turned into a tangent so I'll leave a TL;DR.

TL:DR Google fit sucks for tracking most things, but then again there's no solid one stop solution yet.

I’ve been using Gyroscope for a lot of time now. It’s great to see an aggregated view of all my data (the trends view on the web app is amazing). Link: https://gyrosco.pe/

Add me as a friend if you use it (I’m @patrick91)

Wow 4am is like really early mate... Take it slow!

&#x200B;

Btw here is the app: https://gyrosco.pe/ It does provide you with more statistics rather than sleep, pretty comprehensive!

I suggest making a modular system of spreadsheets—each one (different tabs?) tracking some specific aspect of one's life, and informing other sheets where the data might be relevant. This would allow users to choose which sheets to activate, and what data show up in their main/"ultimate" sheet. I'd honestly be happy to collaborate/brainstorm together, because I too believe that until Exist.io and gyrosco.pe and such apps (which I'm trying this month) become more robust it's worthwhile to at least aggregate data which can be put in CSV form and easily imported to other apps/analysed using Excel/Tableau/etc. Good luck!

Hmm... I was recently thinking about how it would be nice to have something like a cross between gyrosco.pe and home assistant. An open source dashboard that accumulates data from different sources and allows lots of self configuration. It would be hosted locally on a raspberry pi or network or something with a lot of options for configuring what kinds of data it would be loading and what kinds of analysis it would be doing on it. Does anyone know if anything like this has been started?

Hey Josh - good survey. I didn’t see it on your list of apps, but have you heard of Gyroscope? Based off of your Q’s, it seems to be doing a lot of what you’re aiming for.

https://gyrosco.pe/

Might save you from building it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I use gyroscope and I am obsessed! It's given me the much needed motivation to work out every day since downloading it. I am a pro user now. Again, totally obsessed!

https://gyrosco.pe

It isn't about the tweet, it is about the context. There is one reason about quota problem & 1000s of people like u never faced a situation bcz u never had so many users at a time on ur site on a free plan. Another thing I know is the dark view used in https://gyrosco.pe/app/

Another comparison was on /r/webdev https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/4vnnw1/mapbox_or_google_maps/

I've never used Mapbox yet so I can't tell anything on it. But it looks good to me. Next month I am going to use it so till then I will have a proper answer.

PS - I don't know if Google Maps support dark maps like in WatchDogs game or Gyroscope App

Yes Moves: https://www.moves-app.com/

It doesn't have a Watch app but does run on your phone and will give you an overview of where you've been. If you want maps etc. you can link Moves up to something like https://gyrosco.pe/ which can give you that detail.

Not super sure. I believe you add/follow people from their profiles. The Friends feature is still being built out from what I understand.

You can follow me from here if you want: https://gyrosco.pe/eramirez/about/

I'm an iSmoothRun + Apple Watch user. I've been using the beta version of iSmoothRun for a bit and it's just been updated to also use Watch OS2 so it supports native HR tracking. It's not perfect, but it's working pretty well. You can indeed customize two screens to display data from iSmoothrun on the watch.

I've also been using the Gyroscope Running app to pull in data and share my runs (mostly on Instagram). It connects to Strava or Runkeeper as well as Apple's HealthKit. More fun than for hardcore training, but neat to overlay HR over images.
