List of public minders

[Bradley Woods]

I really love this application and I am actively looking for more ways to implement beeminders. Is it possible to get a list of all public ones?

[Daniel Reeves]

we have this from long ago that we haven't been keeping up to date but
if others want to be included we could resurrect it:
beeminder.com/featured

see also: blog.beeminder.com/box

I would find it useful. It would give people an idea of what's possible. 

I'm struggling with my pocket beemind right now, even with the ifttt pocketbee I think it needs a custom solution so I don;t think it could be added to this list right now.

It's not just other people's goals, but r/beeminder on Reddit is a good start:
http://www.reddit.com/r/beeminder.
Best,
Alec

Hah! There's a Reddit? :D

[Daniel Reeves]

Ha, there are a lot of things:

1. Blog: http://blog.beeminder.com
2. Uservoice: http://uservoice.beeminder.com
3. Trello: http://trello.com/beeminder
4. GitHub: http://github.com/beeminder
5. Twitter: http://twitter.com/bmndr
6. Subreddit: http://reddit.com/r/beeminder
7. Google Group: http://blog.beeminder.com/akratics
8. Google+ profile: https://plus.google.com/118275811754025086770/posts
9. Google+ community: https://plus.google.com/communities/118226695073742284301

The subreddit looks particularly promising though -- I hope everyone

Thanks for the link dump! Hope this is on the website somewhere. ;)

[Bradley Woods]

Thanks for the input dan and for creating such great software. As I am implementing this tool into my life I like being able to look at others minders to see some good ideas of things I can implement.  As you continue to acquire more users I think the power of the site should increase as we learn from each other and continue to gain better ways to use it

[Ben Eills]

My contribution: Beeminder Showcase http://www.beneills.com/showcase/

Please submit any interesting goals!  I'll be scraping them semi-routinely from blogs, etc., but input from others will make for much more varied goals.

[Daniel Reeves]

Love this! Thanks so much for putting it together, Ben!
Since you don't have a Set-A-Limit goal yet, I'll volunteer
beeminder.com/d/sugar

There's also my own "do two premeditated thing per weekday". (unexpected things only counted half, it helped me become better at planning)

It was a little harder than "one must do per day", but it allowed the flexibility of doing more during the week than slacking off in the weekend, or doing a little less at work during the week and catch up with housework in the weekend. (and i did both, of course)

It did derail a long time ago, when i had to quit using Beeminder due to not having internet for a long time, but that's another story.

Can you add a little description to each graph in the showcase? Just a sentence or two, to make it easier to understand why that graph is "interesting".

Ciao,

\\ Valerio De Camillis

[Ben Eills]

Added.  I changed URL to http://showcase.beneills.com/ and am using Github pages now.

[Bradley Woods]

I like how they are all on one screen together because its good for quick glance. Would like to see more added to this list.

Added to README TODO.  At the moment the primary criterion for me is just the ease of finding the goal, and the visuals of its thumbnail.  As I get more I'll add and prune, along with descriptions: anyone can Beemind weight, but more inventive/higher-order tracking is more helpful.

Just added a few, including your mastery goal: http://showcase.beneills.com/

Could we just get a list of beeminder users and look at others goals?

[Ben Eills]

I just came up with this hack way of getting a partial list, probably of people who have publicized their profile elsewhere (although these are probably the most interesting people/goals): https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?q=site:beeminder.com+inurl%3Agoals&oq=site:beeminder.com+inurl%3Agoals

I'll go through some tomorrow and update Showcase, as well as adding a description/mouseover text.

Now thats outside the box thinking, should have thought of this. Great idea!

Ouch, there are a lot of straight-red profiles on that list.  e.g. https://www.beeminder.com/chriskun

(graciously, they are people who decided to stop using Beeminder and excel in other life domains...)

[Bradley Woods]

Yeah but its all about the ideas for things we can improve. I already have found a couple by randomly sifting through some of them.

[Ben Eills]

Memrise (online SRS site) has retired its API, so my original Memrise->Beeminder script no longer works.

I wrote a new one in Ruby that just scraped the Memrise HTML, requiring you to have a "remember password" login in Chromium (soon to allow Firefox also). If anyone want this, it's here: https://github.com/beneills/beemem

BTW, I recommend Anki over Memrise in general, but not for the well-supported initial language courses e.g. French, which are far richer than any existing Anki deck.

Excellent - thanks Ben. I was getting sick of typing the numbers in by hand ;)
