Feel free to disregard this, but here it goes: I think it would be nice if rad days were as visually obvious as awful days. Rad and awful are exact opposites on this graph, but the awful red is brighter and more saturated than the rad green, making the awful much more noticeable than the rad.

Again, feel free to disregard.

Remember the good times
They're smaller in number
And easier to recall.
Don't spend too much time
On the bad times.
They're staggering in number
And will be heavy
As lead on your mind

Similar sentiment from one of my favorite bands (Origami Angel):

All these microscopic moments help me feel like I’m not helpless

I concur. Should try running red to green with white in the middle for neutral.

That would be more closely related to how the app does it too. In the app rad is like a grass green.

How did you convert the data into the Illustrator graph? Was it a manual process or did you automate it somehow? I'd love to see my Dailyo data like this.

I’ve built a color wheel VERY similar to this use R and some hefty ggplot modification, with a few other things to get the data right. You can essentially plot anything circular if you provide a way to convert the data using trigonometry or some built capabilities within R/ggplot.

Daylio is amazing! I use it to help track mental health and migraines 10/10

I love what you did, but something for you is maybe line up major life events on this graph. It'll help tell the story better. I'm guessing you had at least one vacation and maybe a bad work as there is a week if meh.

I’d love to see the correlation with the weather. Specifically the amount of sunshine
