log-grower

A microservice, part of Logro, and the front-end 'writing' part of the software architecture. Logro is engineered to be an introspective learning tool for self-education, and the 'log-grower' piece of that service is meant to allow the end-user to write about their life via description of their activities, experiences, and other entries (logs).

History

The purpose is to allow other people and myself to become more skeptical about our own emotions. There is a concept of an activity, experience, and log hierarchy. Every experience is the intersection of two activities, and every experience can have a set of logs. An activity can also be associated with any number of experiences.

This app was originally based on the MEAN stack found via http://meanjs.org/ before it was refactored from the 'evgroio' application: https://github.com/nbuechler/evgroio

Additionally as a post alpha state of the so-called Logro project, the 'log-grower' app continues in the attempt to address the attention deficit humans have in achieving self-actualization. It provides a basic framework that additionally can be tailored by end users. Logro is a set of tools to provide visualizations and other information about the user's attention with an aim to aid in reaching self-actualization.

Logro is a project that makes use of natural language processing, affect computing, and other techniques for analyzing humans.

Goals

Every human needs to fulfill certain basic needs before they are able to deeply reflect on their own. In other words, self-actualization in humans tends to occur stigmergically. This self-actualization can be stifled when humans have their attention overly-focused on daily physical, emotional , analytical, cultural, ethereal tasks. Examples of these tasks are...

  • Running, gardening, singing, painting.
  • Talking, smiling, hugging, helping.
  • Learning, reading, focussing, thinking.
  • Advocating, changing, participating, making.
  • Believing, dreaming, mediating, meditating.

Notes

  • This project has not been secured or hardened, so use it at your own risk.
  • The 'securing of credentials' idea is to use JWT tokens as a microservice approach is planned (beginning in 2016) for 'fixed-gateway': https://github.com/nbuechler/fixed-gateway/
  • The aim of the 'log-grower' service is to actually take inputs from users and to store those inputs through the core service layer 'hungry-interceptor': https://github.com/nbuechler/hungry-interceptor
