hif - How I Feel

An Emotional Command Line Interface.

Hi, my name is Jason and I made a small command line interface to track my day-to-day feelings.

I wanted something that would allow me to throw a feeling into a database with very little effort. Here's what I came up with:

$ hif +happy

It's important that I track my feelings over time to help me cope with a mental health issue. Some people keep journals, use web sites or apps, etc, which is pretty cool and useful! For me, however, I spend so much time on the command line that it's often too much of a context switch to open a book or reference a phone.

Right now hif is very primative... but I often add features that are useful to me.

Maybe they'll be useful to you, too.

Where?

hif source code is available on github, here: https://github.com/jgshort/hif.

Conveniently, I also track issues and features on github.
