Crysta Details
The company is now open source! Check out our git repo here: https://github.com/thetechdude124/Crysta-MVP🎯The aim of Crysta was to help decrease student procrastination by tracking their energy levels. Basically, Crysta would track various different metrics throughout the day – things like the number of distracting sites visited, the number of task switches, and the amount of time spent per task – and then, using an algorithm (the data_handler.py file under the flask branch), compile all these metrics into a single number known as an energy score.🔍Crysta would then look at how these scores changed throughout the day to help determine when you were most likely to be productive, and when you were most likely to be creative. Later on, I even integrated some features that would make it easier to work – such as a tasks list and a pomodoro timer.💡The original idea for the company came after reading Chris Bailey's Hyperfocus, a book I've talked about in a couple other of my videos. As the author puts it, we each have a unique Biological Prime time – where we're most productive and energetic. Similarly, we also have a time where we're least energetic, but more creative. Crysta aimed to be a solution that would measure your energy levels – your biological prime time - and then personalize your daily schedule around these findings Theoretically, this would mean significantly higher productivity for the end user.You can find out more (and use Crysta yourself) at our website: https://tinyurl.com/Crysta-MVPWhile the company itself didn't take off, I learned a LOT through the experience.
