Which area should I focus on next?
http://leetmetrics.com
Hey everyone.
This is Anirudh here and I am a big fan of knowing how I spend my time and how I can manage it better. To scratch my own itch, I have been building a product (leetmetrics.com) that I use to track my daily life. This is something that I am working on solo full-time.
I can add activities each day, view them in a timeline and also get some interesting statistics like which activity I have spent most of my time on.
I am currently split on how I can take this product forward:
- Add more useful statistics
- Add new features: Provide a way for people to get rid of their bad habits, Come up with a reward system with badges, gamification, social sharing, etc
- Improve and polish the UI
- Talk to more customers in the target audience and try to get their buy-in
Which amongst the above would you suggest that I go for, next? If you could explain why, that would be great.
hi Anirudh...used leetmetric for 3 days..following is my feedback:
Business advise -
This app is most useful for students to keep track of their prep & other activities. Once the application passed alpha phase (maybe even beta phase), try reaching out to some schools or colleges (or set of students) requesting for adaption.
Feature request:
My requirement is to know how much time I am spending on set of activities (need not necessarily be one activity). See if you can introduce a feature to categorize the activities. Maybe user can tag each activity with a category.
Here is an example: Say, I am preparing for an exam while doing my regular office work. Both office work & exam prep are important - and both activities can be tagged as 'productive'. Similar gaming & browsing- as 'unproductive'. Lunch & commute to office as 'routine tasks'.
With this I can get insights about how much time I am spending on routine tasks & on unproductive work as a whole etc. And I can always drill down to 'per activity' within each category to see what can be improved.
Thanks Pavan for your feedback. A lot of end users have been asking for this and I think it is now time to pick this feature up and work on it.
I have added the option to mark Custom activities as productive activities now. Insights should now provide relevant information that you asked for. Please have a look and let me know.
Talk to users / customers, and knowing their PAIN POINT, WHAT main problems they are currently having, in executing their tasks / accomplishing their goals (Lack of motivation? distracted? addiction? short term pleasures overtaking their time over long term goals ). what apps are they currently using? What are their problems? Ideally, users should Not be asked "what features would you like - this or that" - but having deep conversations about their pain-points, what problems they are having, their scenarios, and what they are currently doing, what they are using, why it's Not working.
And based on those exact pain points and conversations, develop suitable features and then start analytics.

Thanks! That makes sense. The traction isn't high yet and I think I'll follow your advice.
