From machine learning algorithms to digestive disorders, I learned a ton over the past few months. I made a point of meeting smart people every week, not only to learn from their experiences, but also to challenge and refine my own thoughts. I built a text messaging service for on-demand nutrition facts, and released it to beta testers.
The quantified version:
- 2,500 users
- 5,000,000 calories tracked
- 4+ articles: Technical.ly Brooklyn, Motherboard, The Daily Meal, Twilio…
- 1 talk at the NY Quantified Self Meetup
- 1 spiky Snapchat from VICE
I am very excited for 2016. Digital health is seeing a huge amount of innovation. Messaging platforms and conversational interfaces are getting a lot of attention. As for my project, this new year has already brought me some great developments that I am looking forward to sharing with you soon.
But for now, I want to thank the supportive friends, fellow makers, and accidental mentors with whom I have had encouraging and insightful discussions along the way.
As always, please send me an email to let me know what you think.
