My AppProfile

@rrhoover Mr @chrismaddern can correct me if this is wrong, but my understanding is there is a set of finite profiles that are constructed from different apps and app categories present on your phone. This was a hackday project meant to be a light, fun way to get an understanding of the "sum of apps" on your device. If there's traction I'm sure the Button crew will expand on the idea, but personally intrigued at the idea of a personalization profile (+ recommendations) based on the profile of all apps present on a device.

@rrhoover @maxbulger Absolutely right. We also had recommendation of related apps but were forced to remove it during the Apple review process :( (On the profiles: It's machine learning driven & will get better in time :) There's also a Product Hunt Camper profile, but we've not got enough data for it yet) I think there are a few main things that would make it wayyy more interesting: - Showing the apps that were the influencers in driving that profile result - Allowing you to browse profiles & see what apps drive those profiles - Have profiles be driven by real world clusters now that we're actually getting real data! I'd also love for profiles to become less singular & more a representation of your distribution between clusters -- i.e. your App DNA. Anyway; this was all in one day's work, so there's definitely lots more fun stuff to do! Also; can't wait to share aggregate learnings on app clusters and trends!

@rrhoover @maxbulger @chrismaddern yeah, maybe a better "profile" would be a graph showing your interests based on the apps you have.

@rrhoover @maxbulger @chrismessina yeah, I totally agree. I think coming up with a great way of visualizing 'app tendencies' would be a cool project in itself!

@chrismaddern gotcha! I didn't realize this was a one day project. I'm much less critical then. 😄
