I'm wary about adding chores to my life, that was something I mentioned in the article. I've been running the API crawler for a while now and, so far so good.
The quantified self movement is adjacent to this but not quite. If you are gathering data from a service with an API, this can grab that and you can work with it. I used to wear the Oura ring and now I have 2+ years of data sitting in JSON on my laptop that can be ported to anywhere. I'm not really looking to, like, optimize productivity or physical output or anything, I just want to have and work with data from services that make my life a little easier.
