I have been working on an open source version of this idea: http://www.quantify.io

Right now, things are fairly sparse. You can check the repo out here: https://github.com/jdjkelly/bodyimage

An open source Rails API to track "quantified self" data.

Right now, the hardware companies in this space are storing your data in closed systems. Let's change that.

Take the Withings WiFi scale or the FitBit, for example. Both are essential pieces of the quantified self hacker, yet both store your data in their respective, siloed databases. What happens when one of them goes bust? Or decides to pivot towards an ad-based business model?

This project includes a Rails + MySQL RESTful API to store your data.`
