This is cool. I want this to be an app.

And I just realized he's releasing it as one - http://gyrosco.pe/

He should put some text on that website.

yeah actually can someone verify that this is related to his app? I can't really come to terms with entering my email into a blank third-party website.

Sorry. It's real but pretty rough, I put that page together really quickly. Working on an upgraded version now that should feel less shady

It's linked to at the bottom of the article.

It's in the CTA at the end of his post.

Would be nice to have some sort of link back to the article just to confirm the two.

Also weird I put in my email and the page just scrolled down and revealed some aviation manuals. No indication if it "worked" or not.

It sends a GET to createsend

If you use NoScript or the like you get a nice notification that you triggered something

I thought so too, but - for myself - I know I'm not tracking enough aspects or varying my location enough for all the gauges that his lifestyle accommodates. I will, however, take this inspiration to my own projects, where I've been more apt to use canvas than svn.
