Ask HN: An app to analyse my own browsing history?
6 comments
Many of us are trying to become more purposeful with the ways we use the web, but I haven't seen this done yet.
I think a more visual representation gleaned from the data could be insightful. Especially with respect to seeing habitual use of various categories of websites at certain times.

I agree, and if I had even the most rudimentary of programming skills I'd get to making it myself. Alas I do not.
You posted this earlier, didn't you?

Haha, I did. Bad of me I know. But after 16:00PM GMT HN just gets so much more alive, and I wanted a better response than 'me too'.
Pella, thank you. I'm going to check a few of those extensions out for their utility. It's not quite the full vision implemented, but it's a better start than improved history extensions.
But all I have to help me do this is a slightly optimised history extension for Chrome. And all that lets me do is search my history better. I want date ranges, graphs, click data, user journey, time on site, bounce rate. All from my perspective as opposed to a single site's perspective.
It's possible, easily possible, but I've never seen it done. Unless one of you knows? And if so, show me. I'm dying to check it out. Google Analytics for Me.
