Hello /improve/, i've been trying to kill my neckbeard attitudes for a while now, and doe i'm failing misserably in the most social aspects, i've learnt a few new skills, specially programming, which have even got me 400usd for just 16hs of work in the last weeks. So im feeling good.

Given i want to follow this new route, i'm trying to finish an old project of mine. I want to make a "personal assitant" that helps me to not fall out of the flow and keep progressing in my improvement, without the usual "2 weeks of work-1 month of anime watching in my bed" situation.

However, i've been failing in this project for at least 2 years, as i can never think about the whole scope of it

What i want to make, is basically a sort of software that does the following things

1)a) scraps the 4chin boards i like for the threads with >100 replies (or certain threads i want to log) and shows them to me as they appear.

b) scraps the 8chan slow boards i like and notify me when new threads are created/ responses in marked threads are done

c) scraps the international news and notify me when big news (shared among different venues) happen

d) follows youtube accounts and such subscribing websites and notify me of new uploads/ notify-remind me of new anime/tv episodes // new cd/mixes from the bands i like

(basically follow shit along a whole spectrum of websites i don't want to check everyday nor can i remember the different dates im supposed to be waiting for)

2) reminds me to clean my home/bathroom,take baths, excercise, groom myself

3) makes a log of my progress along different projects/study areas

4) reminds me to keep reading the books i've started

5) helps me to log and take care of my personal finnances

6) helps me to remember to buy food, toothbrushes, take the cat to the vet, etc

7) helps me to keep a fucking balanced diet

8) reminds me to socialize, looks for things to do at weekends, tells me when bands i like are going to play near me, and such shit

9) helps me manage my time among all this different things

All this shit is easy to program, however i can't find the right way to blend them all into a one thing, and i don't know where to take good information for such things as balanced diets or excercising routines, and im also pretty sure im missing out REAL IMPORTANT SHIT i would want it to do

Basically, i want to make a virtual mom, a second-brain for spergs like you and i

For what i've read here, im sure you would also benefit from sth like this, so please, if you can think of something, or would like to collaborate, post here, im open to suggestions and project m8s

Why do you want to do this as a single software?

Most of it could be done with emacs' org-mode though.

A virtual personal assistant would be wonderful, if only for the personal data tracking alone (how long has it been since I cleaned the bathroom? How many times a week do I do it? A month?).

The biggest hurdle I see is data entry. If the app isn't smart enough to input data itself, the user will have to do it (go in, did task: clean bathroom, enter in relevant information (how long did it take, etc)).

How does your app know how many pages you've read, and in what books? If it isn't smart enough to sit with you throughout the day and watch what you do and input it then all the data entry becomes manual, and your app just becomes another chore to maintain.

Basically, what you are describing to me is an app version of Sumomo, or even Cortana:

Isn't this what people are doing with HabitRPG? How is your idea different than these three?
