Supporter Love!

Happy Friday everyone!

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to all of our supporters. 

There’s 50 MoodyPandas in the supporters team now! That’s a very small team of people, each of whom have donated to help MoodPanda grow, develop and be there for our lovely community of so many people!

By supporting our costs, each of our 50 supporters has helped me and Ross keep MoodPanda ad-free, charge-free, and the best Quantified-Self Mood Tracking community around!

Here’s an interesting stat for you - on average, our supporters are 9% happier than everyone else! I’m not saying joining the supporters team makes you happier, but it’s an interesting stat all the same ;-)

Thanks again, to you all! Have a happy weekend!!

Dr. Oz: 5 Pieces of Advice I’ll Be Giving 10 Years from Now

Find a Doc Who Prescribes Apps

Cell phones are already becoming medical devices as developers create more and more apps that can track everything from your metabolism to your glucose levels. The best doctors in 2022 will help patients use their personal data to take better care of themselves, so find a physician who is willing to reflect on your statistics and work with you to form healthier habits.

What You Can Do Today
Start experimenting with some of the smarter apps that are already available. Lose It! is a nicely designed weight loss tool that lets you record calories and exercise. Sleep Cycle uses the accelerometer in an iPhone to monitor your movement in bed and track your sleep phases. MoodPanda is a free interactive journal that displays your emotions over time with cool graphics like pie charts and graphs; keeping a log of your emotions can help you spot patterns in your mood and note the things that make you feel good.

We’ve hit 25%! Thank you to our latest supporter

Thank you to tankgirlbex for taking us past the 25% mark for our 2012 crowdfunding target!

By upgrading her supporters medal from bronze to silver, tankgirlbex has helped towards the running and development costs of MoodPanda and keeps the MoodPanda dream alive!

MoodPanda is run and funded by unpaid volunteers. Our running costs are kept fairly low (around £1200 a year) due to our team’s creativity, but every penny we receive in donations goes straight into the community and keeps it alive.

So thank you, tankgirlbex. And thank you to all of our supporters!

Android App Progress Development of the MoodPanda Android App is going well, we still have some “ghost pandas” in the works that we need to scare off, but we’re getting there. Most major functionality is in, and we’ve done some live testing (which the more eagle eyed of you may have spotted!). We can’t wait to have some Androidy-Pandas on board! For any Android programmers out there, Android’s cookie sync manager is our new mortal enemy! Who’d’ve thought the SDK and Eclipse IDE would be such a nightmare to work with, especially compared to iPhones Xcode IDE and SDK! Fingers crossed the App distribution process is more refined. We’ll post more once we have a distribution date confirmed. We cannot wait!

We’re in the middle of a late night coding session, making massive progress on the MoodPanda Android App, and doing some re-jigging of the main website in preparation for the App! Late night, lager and coding, can’t complain! Biggup to Dave B for his hard work tonight — legend! It turns out that Android App coding is a pain in the ass compared to iPhone Objective C, and I’m surprised! We’ve come across SDK bugs, IDE Bugs and just mysterious errors, but we’re slowly getting there. We really hope to get the Android App launched this month, depending on how many more weird Android bugs we come across! If anyone fancies buying me and Dave an energy drink or Beer, you know how to do it -tinyurl.com/supportmoodpanda :-P Posted by Jake, Co-Founder of MoodPanda.com
