DailyNomie Sync

by

I am excited to announce that I have created a service which will let you sync ๐Ÿ”„ your Nomie data between devices. You can use it for free!

Some backgroundโ€ฆ
Syncing your Nomie data between devices has always been possible. As part of Nomie5 you could choose between a Blockstack solution or a self hosted CouchDB solution. With the introduction of Nomie6-oss the Blockstack solution is not available anymore and the self hosted CouchDB is the only way to go.

Setting up your own hosted CouchDB server is possible and there are some instructions available on how you can achieve this:

1 How To Install CouchDB on a Synology with self-signed certificates
2 https://geek-cookbook.funkypenguin.co.nz/recipes/nomie/

The reality is that most of us do not have the ability to get this successfully done. Because I believe in the power of Nomie and I would like to have other people also enjoy Nomie to its full potential, I have created a DailyNomie Sync Service which will let you securely sync your data via a CouchDB instance which I will maintain for you.

The only thing you have to do is to

1. install the sync plugin within Nomie
2. register for the service in the sync plugin
3. receive your credentials in your email
4. use these credentials to logon to the DailyNomie CouchDB service
5. start syncing between devices

Please follow the instructions as decsribed in the Plugin documentation: ๐Ÿ”„ Nomie Sync

Have fun with it!

Regards,
Ronald

Why DailyNomie?

by

Since โค๏ธBrandon Open Sourced Nomie, there was no other option for me to maintain itโ€ฆ I just need it.

Everyone else is still invited for the ride

Some backgroundโ€ฆ
It must have been somewhere in the summer of 2019 that I started to drown myself in the Stoic philosophy. While practicing the learningโ€™s from the numerous books I read, I felt the need to track and quantify how these practices affected my daily life. As an experienced long distance runner I was used to collect all kinds of data. Unfortunately that data was scattered over multiple apps (vendors) and difficult to correlate. My stoic journey introduced more data-points, for some there was not even an app to collect them.

Just imagine my excitement when I discovered Nomie, which quickly became the central tool where I routed all my data to. Nomie became my personal data ledger. While โค๏ธ Brandon Corbin kept developing Nomie, we got in touch with each other which let to some additional Nomie functionality, of which the Plugin functionality appears to be the most useful. I created a hand full of plugins for Nomie, but unfortunately Brandon had to shift gears and decided to dedicate his time to other great projects.

That was the moment -beginning of 2023- where Brandon gave Nomie as a gift to the Open Source community.

As Nomie proved to be so beneficial on my Stoic journey I decided to adopt this Open Source project as one of the contributors & I further developed multiple Nomie Plugins to extend its usability.
Next to some personal stories, this website will contain tutorials, guidance and best practices to use Nomie.

It will also contain
โ€“ the latest Nomie version to install
โ€“ a Nomie ๐ŸชAPI Server, free to use
โ€“ a Nomie โŒš๏ธApple Watch app and related API Server, free to use

I hope you will enjoy and that we can keep Nomie alive.

I will keep on using Nomie daily, so this is my DAILYNOMIE

Regards,
Ronald

๐ŸŽ Nomie Release 6.4.0-dn

by

This release is the first release with a ‘-dn’ post-fix in the number. The main Nomie repository always requires a 4-eye principle when it comes to new releases. That is normal, to make sure that releases are bug-free and working as intended. Unfortunately I was the only maintainer left of the main repository, so all new features or bug-fixes I created I could not promote to a new version… So I decided to fork the repository and start maintaining my own DailyNomie repository. Any releases from this repository you can easily recognize by the ‘-dn’ post-fix. The latest DailyNomie release is always available at https://app.dailynomie.com. This 6.4.0-dn release brings the following features and fixes:

  • feature: for the line/chart bar widgets you can now plot another trackable for comparison which will persist, so the next time you go to the dashboard this additional trackable will still be plotted
  • feature: for the line/chart bar widgets you can now plot statistics in the chart, like average or rolling averages.
  • fix: timeframe bugs for last-7days & last week, where the line/bar chart widget were not correctly showing the timeframe when you picked ‘last week’ or ‘last 7 days’ timeframe
  • fix: within the statistics setting of a trackable, comparing the trackable with other trackables was broken in the chart view. This has been fixed now๐Ÿ‘Œ
