I'm actually already building a service like this. It's only for myself and for my friend but the idea is to ask chains of questions daily.

With enough time passing you can start making statistical analysis of your own data for insights about your life.

That's great. Share it when you are ready.
Actually it only supports having a handful of users now and the database is not encrypted. I don't think I'll ever publish it because it's certainly not a product comprehensive enough for a public release.
loop on f-droid <https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.isoron.uhabits/> is similar to this, you can ask yourself questions at set time intervals. It is a habit tracker and plots the data as you go, you'll like it.
Thanks, it does seem interesting!

It seems there is no server implemented yet, not sure if it'll even rely on one. I've almost written mine already so I'll stick to my solution for personal needs.

I'm also making my service a bit more "intelligent", meaning it'll ask conditional questions based on your answers to previous questions. I guess sort of like the author of this thread is planning on doing.
