How did you collect the data for this project? I'm working on something similar but I'm having trouble with collecting the data in a non-invasive way.

I wrote a small browser extension that collects data on user behavior and sends it to the dashboard. It's all open source and available on my GitHub.

Great work! I've been looking for something like this for my own personal analytics. Any plans to make this publicly available?

Thanks! Currently, I'm keeping this project for personal use, but I may consider making it public in the future.

This is so cool. I'd love to see a breakdown of how much time I spend on different websites and apps.

I'll definitely consider adding that feature. Currently, the dashboard shows data for email, social media, and streaming services. But I want to make it as comprehensive as possible.

I'm an designer and I'm really impressed by the UI of this dashboard. Can you share more about your design process?

Thanks, I'm glad you like the design! I used a human-centered design approach to create the dashboard. I started by identifying the key pieces of data that users would want to see, and then I created wireframes and prototypes to test different visualizations. I also made sure to include accessibility features to make the dashboard usable for as many people as possible.
