    I filled my own need with <a href="https://howsyourblank.com" rel="nofollow">https://howsyourblank.com</a>.<p>I have a minor, but chronic medical condition I am trying to get in check, and I just wanted something incredibly simple to identify good and bad days. I was inspired by "year in pixels" calendars.<p>And I took the opportunity to try out Userbase[0] and build something with a secure backend and no tracking, considering the potentially sensitive nature of it.<p>No plans for monetization at the moment. I could see adding more features such as tracking multiple data points, stats, correlations, notes, etc., and creating a premium version. I would need more users and feedback.<p>[0]<a href="https://userbase.com" rel="nofollow">https://userbase.com</a>.
