Feature request: Warnings for Do-Less goals *before* crossing the bright line

  1. Are you manually entering a datapoint each time you check your phone and spend more than 30 seconds on it? I think you must have automated this, which is super cool and I’d love to hear more about how you did that. Tasker?

I’m automating it. I use Automate, following Using Beeminder with Android Automate. I think the key point from your perspective is that Automate submits a data point every time I keep my screen on for 30 seconds, instead of providing batched data at some regular interval.

  1. If you could turn on some other reminders for a bit (email, slack, whatever) to compare, that would be super helpful for us. We’re working on revamping the Android reminders and hearing this case study of if it’s the Android reminders specifically that are just all wrong would be edifying.

OK, I’ll enable email reminders and report back if they do anything different than Android.

  1. Do you have PPRs turned on for this goal? Probably not if it’s automated.

No.

  1. Do you have experience with manual do-less goals? (Or whatever kind this one isn’t.)

No.
