It was hot, hot, hot then BAM. Mid to low 70’s and in the 40’s overnight. Welcome to Indiana and welcome to Fall allergies. I’m so happy to have found my nasal allergy med, my sinuses/nose has been killing me lately (and my sleep schedule).
I made it to bed around 9pm, I was a tired bitch and it’s currently 6:30am, I just couldn’t sleep anymore. My decaf just finished brewing, excite!
Currently tapping this on my new MacBook Pro. Yes, again. As much as I dislike Apple’s anti-consumer, anti-enviorment, e-waste business practices, I just can’t escape the ecosystem. This silly bitch sold his last MBP for a ASUS G14 with a 4060 and a Samsung Fold 5 and I just can’t do it. Last year I did the same and tried going Lenovo Thinkpad and a Fold 3/Pixel 7. Sigh.
I’ll skip the typical junky/malware/tracking/jank comments on Windows/Android/Samsung and just say this, it’s easier to get my work done on Mac. It’s easier to do development on Mac. And if I have a Mac.. might as well go iPhone so I get my messages and photos and notes and reminders and calendars and contacts… and non shitty photos and videos in messages as everyone I know runs iPhone.
iPhone is finally getting USB-C, though. Fucking. Finally.
But anyway.
I have an idea for an App, it’s an agoraphobia exposure app. Think Pokemon go, but you get points and levels based on how long, and how far you travel from a start point. You are at your front door, hit record, then it tracks your time and distance and rewards points with the distance from home driving the multiplier value. For walking, the multiplier is higher as you don’t walk as far from home and driving, lower.
I want the app to track how you are feeling before and after the exposure, rate your anxiety on a scale of 1-10, set a goal. Compare this to before and after and track your progress over time. I want to have a big red SOS button the user can tap and have panic resources on tap if needed during their exposure. Much of this is from CBT such as the mood tracking, etc. Eventually, I could create a companion app for therapists and they can coach you on your progress, assign goals, etc. The possibilities are endless.
So far I have a map
I found some example walk tracker apps on Github.The hardest part is going to be literally learning app dev, it can’t be that hard, right? 😉
Lastly, just about two weeks to go until I move! I’m trying as hard as I can to not predetermine my experience or think about the drive. I think it’s gonna be really good for me once I settle in.
