Achievements: Progress Bars, Streaks, and?

delsage · December 20, 2021, 2:01pm

Ex: Weekly achievement/progress bar: spend 10 hours total coding in SQL!
Ex: Streak: spent <10 minutes on reddit each day for 5 days in a row!

Thoughts? Any related ideas?

I worked a bit on a “Goals” feature that could encompass stuff like this:

There’s also this “productivity score” PR:

github.com/ActivityWatch/aw-webui

feat: add productivity score for categories

ActivityWatch:master ← ActivityWatch:dev/score

Rebased and salvaged #162 Shouldn't require any changes to backend code. #…# Tasks - [ ] Review what would make the best UX from previous discussions - [ ] How long you need to engage in a 1 point activity to get 1 point? (an hour?) - [x] Add computation of score for period - ```py totalScore = 0 for event in events: totalScore += event.duration * get_score(event.category, allCategories) return totalScore / (60 * 60) # from score-seconds to score-hours ``` - [x] Add visualization (just a number of the total score today?) - [x] Make sure score is inherited correctly - [ ] What should scores be for the default categories?

I welcome more specific ideas about how to best implement such a feature.

I’ve read some research on things like TimeAware, which could help inform how to best design the feature to accomplish behavioral change.

Thanks for contributing and its great that there is a starting point. I normally use python so I’m not sure how long it will be until I can contribute meaningfully.

If Python is your cup of tea you could build something like that using aw-client.

There are some examples in the examples/ directory which could be reworked to something basic like what you want, like this one:

github.com

ActivityWatch/aw-client/blob/master/examples/working_hours.py

import json
import re
from datetime import datetime, timedelta, timezone, time
from typing import List, Tuple, Dict

from tabulate import tabulate

import aw_client
from aw_core import Event
from aw_transform import flood


def _pretty_timedelta(td: timedelta) -> str:
    s = str(td)
    s = re.sub(r"^(0+[:]?)+", "", s)
    s = s.rjust(len(str(td)), " ")
    s = re.sub(r"[.]\d+", "", s)
    return s

This file has been truncated. show original

For your two examples:

Example 1: Weekly achievement/progress bar: spend 10 hours total coding in SQL!
- Query how much time was spent on the task today, and send email notifications with updates (new week, first hour of the week, first 5 hours, first 10 hours, etc)
Example 2: Streak: spent <10 minutes on reddit each day for 5 days in a row!
- Query how much time was spent in a “reddit” cartegory for in the last 5 days, and send an email with how you’re doing.

I might throw something like that together myself…

Awesome I’ll keep you updated

likewise let me know if you have the chance to spend time on it
