Keeping track of current level of happiness

feelike 🦋

If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Background

This project is based on Felix Krause's "mood" - go check out his inspiring projects at https://krausefx.com/

Understanding what makes us happy is no easy task. In the past decades a substanial amount of research has been made on this subject, however research can provide us with general guidelines at best.

We wanted to create a way to track our overall happiness and excitement in my life, allowing us to monitor, analyze and react to it. Think of it as a psychological happiness research that is tailor made for you and how you experience your life.

How it works

It's a simple Telegram Bot that will send you a message 3 times a day:

• One in the morning (I'd never reply to the bot before showering)
• One after lunch
• One when going to bed

You can always just text your bot a number, however, I know I'd forget it. That's why the bot sends you those reminders.

It then pulls up this really nice, optimized keyboard in Telegram, with a short description of what each number means.

Graphs

We're working on a nice visualization page & dashboard for this. Maybe even just send a weekly and monthly summary via Telegram?

Right now, just send /graph to your bot to get your historic mood as a simple graph.

How to use it

Super easy!

• Add the bot - http://t.me/FeelikeBot
• Send '/start'

That's it!

We're excited to get your feedback so write to us! Also, contributions are super welcome :)

feelike's Issues

Allow custom messages from admins

Allow admins to send custom messages to all the users via the bot.
This will be used for announcements regarding the product.

Weekly Report

Each week send each user a weekly report.

The report should summerise his mood in the passing week in various aspects.
For example:

1. Your average mood this week
2. Compare this week to the last week
3. Compare this week to the last 2 months
4. You were the most happy during the <morning/noon/evenings>
5. You were the most unhappy during the <morning/noon/evenings>
6. Your mood report coverage (how many times you failed to report)
7. The graph

Graph to show daily average

Right now the graph shows every mood-report, which is too much noise and hard to understand.
Each point on the graph should be the average of one day, with dashed lines marking the weeks.

Redesign mood keyboard

Some users feel that the current 6-buttons keyboard is not well-fitted to their moods.
Some changes are needed such as:

1. Considering moving to 5 or 7 scale.
2. Changing or removing the wording on the buttons.

Add /feedback slash command

In order to allow users to submit feedback regarding the bot.

All feedback will be forwarded to a dev telegram group.
A group should be created, and the chat_id (can be found by inviting @RawDataBot to the group) will be encoded as an env variable (TELEGRAM_FEEDBACK_CHAT_ID).

• Add the slash command which forwards the message to the dev telegram group. Forwarded message template: "{name}: {message}"
• Respond with a friendly message
• If the command is invoked with no message, respond with an explanation on how to properly use it
• Amend the on-boarding message to introduce the new slash command
• Dispatch an announcement
