I mean, you're supposed to *rest* when getting over COVID never mind long COVID, but my cursory review doesn't show activity trackers with an explicit convalescence mode, you know, 2+ years into a pandemic that will never end.

I guess if you wanna get all *aesthetic* about it, it's a cozy tracker. More stuff like Gentler Streak please.

Welp, that's today's episode then.

@[email protected] I mean, I do remember getting annoyed at Apple Health when it pinged me that I was walking much less than the previous month – I had broken my leg! I do think it would be interesting for these trackers to start to support both dramatic and gradual personal health changes. It's a more complicated conceptual model, but think how much better it would be for the ostensible purpose of these trackers

@danhon File this under different-but-related gripe: I am still unable to make my bitmoji/meta/cartoonish/whatever you want to call it avatar reflect that I have a mole on my chin or even that I have gray hair and crow's feet wrinkles. Instead, I have to be reminded I am not an impossibly smooth and young version of myself anymore

@danhon What ties all of this together: there is often more nuance and broader uses for products than what product teams are often able to envision. If you are a company making fitness trackers and all your employees are young and fit, you should consider you are doing it wrong. If all your engineers building the avatar code are under 25, you're doing it wrong.
