Weight lifting and Swimming - Does swimming a few laps in the pool at high intensity immediately after weight lifting help build and maintain muscle mass?
Food & Alcohol - Which foods hold alcohol the best?
We've been curious about these and many other things. We started bricolagelabs as a place to record your observations and perform "experiments". these could be anything - productivity when you wake up early/late/ pickup lines/ whatever.
It's related to Seth Roberts' (Shangri La diet) self-experimentation with the goal of aiding discovery through trial and error.
Would love to get news.yc feedback on this. Thanks!
Great job. I've actually been working in this space for about 2 years. It's an interesting development and people are tackling it from a number of angles.
It seems your approach is more descriptive than numerical. That could be good, a lot of the recent players are more numbers oriented which may turn off most users.
For a good summary of the field, Google "Me-trics", who presented at TC50. You'll find a lot of the competitors listed on various posts discussing Me-trics. I think the personal analytics/crowd-sourced-research-experiment space is set for solid growth in the coming years.
I've tried a number of different UI's and a number of different techniques to mining the data. I don't think the market is quite there yet, so I'm doing these things on the side until I have the money and technology ready to focus on it. Anytime you want to chat about it, shoot me an email.
I am very interested in this, as I have a similar project on my TODO list. I can not figure out how your page works, though. All I see is some blog articles on "we did experiment x". Do I have to sign up somewhere?
