# Day One tools

This is a collection of scripts to collect data from various sources and store

it into the [Day One](http://dayoneapp.com/) journaling application.  Day One

is a fantastic application so I'd like to put as much of the data about my

habits, Internet usage, goals, etc. into it as possible.  Luckily, the format

for Day One is simply XML in the form of OS X plists.  This makes it very easy

to import data into.

## Goals

This repository aims to be a single place for one-shot scripts to semi-automate

exporting various data into the Day One XML format.  The purpose is to

primarily support services without a web API and those that involve more manual

setup to export data, etc.

## Install

- User mode

    - pip install dayonetools

- Development mode

    - Install package with the standard `pip` workflow:

        - git clone repositiory

        - cd into repository

        - pip install .

Now you should have a top-level script called `dayonetools` to interact with

all the individual services, etc.

- Run `dayonetools -h` to ensure the install worked properly.

## Usage

- Run `dayonetools -h` for help

- Run `dayonetools  -h` for help on an individual service

    - For example: `dayonetools idonethis -h`

### Supported services

- [iDoneThis.com](http://idonethis.com)

- [nike fuel](http://nikeplus.nike.com/)

- [habit list](http://habitlist.com/)

### Differences from Slogger

This set of tools is very similar to the popular

[slogger](https://github.com/ttscoff/Slogger).  However, it differs in a few

ways.

1. [slogger](https://github.com/ttscoff/Slogger) is meant to be run

   automatically on a schedule via cron or any similar scheduling mechanism.

2. [slogger](https://github.com/ttscoff/Slogger) primarily supports services

   that have a web API.

3. [slogger](https://github.com/ttscoff/Slogger) is written in Ruby.

The Day One tools collection of scripts is meant to fill the gap regarding

unsupported services in Slogger.  In addition, it's a different mindset in that

these scripts could be automated but the services they import from are lesser

used and possibly more difficult to export data from.
