On lijst.com you can keep personal lists of dated, numerical values.

Think of it as a spreadsheet with just 2 columns: a date and a value column. You can keep several lists. Lijst will graph your lists and help you analyze.

Example uses

Over time, I’ve spoken with dozens of people about this idea. Most were enthusiastic. They came up with many things to monitor: debt, weight, mood, number of push ups, blood sugar levels, stock portfolio worth, daily expenses, car mileage, travel time, overtime, incoming calls, sales, friends on Facebook, your tweet totals.

The near future

A short history

A premature idea for lijst was todo.lijst.com. Luckily, enough todo applications existed. After becoming ill on a visit to Ghana, Africa, the focus shifted to monitoring personal health.

Friends suggested features that would enable them to use Lijst too. Their input made it clear that a few health indicators would be too specific a solution.

Subtracting features resulted in a very general application. Lijst will be a very basic, stripped solution. No bling bling.

Why “Lijst”?

In Dutch, “lijst” means “list”.
