Ran through the Gainful questionnaire twice picking different answers for both, interestingly the blend is exactly the same in both cases, and arrrrrgh, one of the ingredients is Stevia. It's a personal thing, but I cannot stand the aftertaste from Stevia. Why not use Xylitol instead?

Another fun entry in the "things I can happily waste a few minutes of my day on" category. Will I ever actively use the avatar? Maybe, but even if I don't it was fun to play with, and the UX was more responsive and slicker than many others I've used in the past... and it's nice to see Github not taking itself too seriously :-)
Pros: It's a welcome distraction from the sad reality of life, and...

So I've tried it, and in principle I like it, but I can't see a way to change the formatting of text? My overview is all centered, and I'd prefer it left justified. Where's the option for doing that? How about being able to add text in bold or italics to make a point stand out?

So, what does it do that other apps like "Moments" don't do? What's the USP? I've used Moments to track my usage and it's annoying having to go in to setting/battery and then take a screenshot, etc. etc. blah, blah, blah. I understand that the sandboxed nature of iOS prevents an app such as yours from monitoring other apps in the background, or from querying an OS task scheduler, so is this...

If I could downvote this app to oblivion, and send it to the depths of Tartarus, I would happily do so. Like @ajlawrence I've been a long time Withings user and fan. I've two Activite watches (the "original" $400 one and a new Steel HR) which I adore because of their simplicity, and the fact they don't try to do "everything", the Thermo, and the Pulse O2. I was just about to pull the trigger...

I want to like this - I really, REALLY do - and I want to tell people about it, but there's a few things stopping me:
(1) I'd like to know where you're saving the data I've filled out - I want you to explicitly tell me, up front, at the moment it doesn't tell me where and how you're saving that information, for all I know you're parsing it and adding it to a marketing database you're going to...

Hmmm... interesting. Interactive whiteboards have been tried in the past, but this looks like it has legs. It's certainly cheaper than the Microsoft Surface Hub (https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-surface-hub/en-us), but it doesn't seem to have the conferencing ability that device has (unless it's hidden deep on the Jamboard website). I'll keep an eye on this one.

It's like a whiteboard, but waaay better. From Google.
