I have finished the Beeminder integration for WOC ([https://windofchange.me](https://windofchange.me)).

You can connect your account to Beeminder in account settings ([Your account / WOC](https://windofchange.me/account)) and then set up sync from any card to a Beeminder goal:

WOC will create data points for the overall comment count, whenever you add or delete a comment. (So your goal should have the type “Gain weight” or “Lose weight”.)

You can use this eg. to beemind consistently reflecting on some topic/goal. I might not always have the energy to actually do something towards learning Norwegian, but I can at least reflect on it. Or perhaps [set a timer for five minutes](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/vpvKEj7shuk8h5Eet/hammertime-day-2-yoda-timers) and think about why Norwegian isn’t going well, etc. And I can use the same space (self-replies in WOC) to write down the results of my thinking:

You can also use this to beemind eg. writing movie/book/restaurant reviews, while keeping those reviews public. (Here are my own reviews [for movies](https://windofchange.me/ShowCard?cardId=a81dbe66-04f1-41f9-a7c1-2f43ab1bee80) and [for books](https://windofchange.me/ShowCard?cardId=e6c45781-2440-4579-bf05-4164cf32a046)).

Another possible usecase is gratitude journaling, or similar options (“being assertive” journaling, “forgiving people” journaling, “I want” journaling, etc).

If you find any more usecases for the Beeminder integration — please post them here!

_cc @narthur @lancemcdoogal — you asked for the integration, and it wouldn’t have happened if nobody asked for it_

Awesome, thank you! Can you just create goals for certain cards or just cards in general?

You can create a goal per card, and then WOC will beemind the number of comments in that card. You can’t beemind the total amount of cards.

Awesome! Thanks so much for making this! I added WOC to our list of candidates for official integrations as well now: [https://beeminder.consider.it#what-should-our-next-autodata-integration-be-92](https://beeminder.consider.it#what-should-our-next-autodata-integration-be-92)

Awesome! What’s an “autodata integration”?

(Or perhaps the question should also be — what does “official integration” entail?)

Ah, yeah, that’s our term for automatically adding data to a Beeminder graph.

A built-in integration like the ones on the front page of [beeminder.com](http://beeminder.com). I shouldn’t say “official” as if it needs our blessing qua blessing, just that data fetching happens on Beeminder’s servers and it’s all nice and easy for nontechnical users.
