Would you use a custom Beeminder + Focusmate integration?

Hello folks :wave:.

I started using Focusmate again this month and was checking the forums to see how people were using it and found a couple of threads with some interesting pain points with the current Beeminder integration:

  • Doesn’t check if the session was completed or not so you may end up with mismatched data between Beeminder and Focusmate
  • If you create 2 goals with the Focusmate integration, you will have duplicate data, there’s no way to specify what sessions should go to which goal

I’m a web developer by trade, and I’m thinking of building a web app where you connect your Focusmate account and your Beeminder account and do things like:

  1. Send only completed sessions to a Beeminder goal; ignore all incomplete
  2. Filter sessions by the time of day, for example, you may want to beemind a Focusmate session every weekday at 8 am
  3. Filter sessions by duration, for example, you may want to beemind 30m sessions only (I know this is already possible but you need to contact support every time you want this changed).

These are the 3 main features I’m thinking of building to start.

Now, the big question is, would you use something like this? Maybe even pay a small monthly or yearly fee to use it?

I want to gauge interest and see if it is something this community would want :slightly_smiling_face:. If you’re interested, please reply to this thread and let me know your thoughts.

Any chance you could also make a webapp for expanding the YNAB integration ? haha

thank you so much for mentioning it. Due to the fact that you will invest a lot of time in it I think I would pay something, but not more than 10$ a year.
