The metrics.tg-bot from tsepanx

metrics.tg-bot's Introduction

`Metrics.tg-bot`

Key concept

To put it as simply as possible, all this bot does is dialog with the user and create/update a record in the answer table according to certain rules.

There are 2 most important entities in my architecture:

Question

A Text metric, aggregated for each day
To keep track various of indicators of the day, such as weight, steps count, and more.

Events entity

A Timestamp metric, that can occure many times on a day
Usually, it is to be marked when something occurs (f.e. sleep time, wakeup time, and more).
Ongoing events: In addition, a more flexible abstraction that can be built on top of Events, is Ongoing events
- For example, you periodically go to sport gym. When it is the case, you mark a new event called sport_training with text start.
- Then, at the end of you exercising, you mark new event with same name (sport_training) and text end.
- Such events are called Durable in my code (a mistranslation, I know).

Purpose

Allows to very easily have overall view on week's spent time (via calendar ics feature)
In such way I'm trying to somewhat systemize my life
Also, after some period of time, a data collected may be analyzed, manually or programmatically (f.e. using Machine learning) to identify patterns and correlations between different metrics
