My app is now open for public alpha — q.buzz ! I got serious about the idea that became q.buzz during COVID lockdown. I was depressed — wife, newborn, and miserable me. But there were still measurable ups and downs. And I was still an engineer with a PhD thesis in time-domain analysis and a problem to solve. What I created lies between a life logger and a survey app. Like life loggers and habit trackers, it's designed for personal use and has tools for trend analysis and goal setting. Like a survey app, you can write any questions you want and share them. I'm not aware of anything else that does this well. I've been using it during development, just a couple minutes each day. I am biased, but I believe it has helped me with self-accountability and overall outlook. Being able to see that yes, I've been here before, more than once, and every time it gets better and here is generally why — that is powerful. I humbly hope that it can help others. Please check it out and let me know what you think. In particular, does this project seem like a viable business? I think it has applications in wellness, business, education ... but I am way too close to be objective.

I’ve founded a mobile app startup — q.buzz!
