Hello Folks,

I’m beeminding my body weight right now, and I’m often curious to measure the slope of the weighted moving average.

Would it be possible to include the slope at the endpoint in the hover text?

See image for an example.

Thank you kindly

Sometime in the next five to six years (per my estimation), we should have the new interactive charts replacing the static images. Just hold on /s 😉

I’m specifically not holding my breath for that. 🙂

Calculating a slope and putting it in the hover text feels like a feature that is 1/1000 the effort for a substantial benefit.

Well, more stats like the one you want is in @dreev’s todo list since 2015 😉

> Stats currently shown Current daily rate of the Yellow Brick Road Current weekly rate of the Yellow Brick Road Average rate of the Yellow Brick Road from start to goal date Number of datapoints 90% variance Ideas for stats (#UVI) All-time average rate based on data Average rate based on data since x-min Average rate based on data for last 7 days (with up-arrow if greater than road rate) Average rate based on data for days 8-14 ago (with week over week stats). This is a wiki. We’ll keep …

In any case, in an effort to be more helpful: you could have an IFTTT recipe copy your data to a spreadsheet in Google Drive. Then you can calculate any kind of stuff with it.

I would love that as well! Or even if the background background yellow lines had slope labels on them
