FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

I have a great idea for a metric, how do I tell you about it?
Submit your ideas here.
What are these points that people seem to have on the leaderboard?
Points indicate a user's contribution to lifemetric. Users are given a certain amount of points for contributing in various ways, currently:
  • 1 point per metric entry
  • 2 points for voting for a feature (either for or against)
  • 2 points for commenting on a blog post or feature
  • 3 points for suggesting a feature
Right now, they're just for bragging rights. Users with the most points are given a spot in the Top Users list.
How do you see the graph aggregating everyone's metrics?
Click the metric name you'd like to view in the footer. To see all metrics, click "All Metrics" toward the bottom of the list.
What's with these pictures by user names? How do I get mine?
They're avatars. Well, more correctly, Gravatars. Head over there and sign up to upload yours. Make sure you use the same e-mail address you signed up to lifemetric with so we can recognize you.
