Hello everyone! o(^▽^)o The network is very busy today. But I want to put my application out before Sanguis' time rolls into Cordis, so Sanguis folks can still use it.

I have a basic Moon Phase Log app to document your changes. It's kind of a combination of a journal and a personal tracker - for example, applications for menstrual cycle tracking, or seeing how your mood is over time. You can make notes of your changes for the current cycle, if anything is new or different than previous, how you feel, anything that happened leading up to it, etc. You can also attach photos to each entry.

I did this for myself originally, because sometimes I go into heat and sometimes I don't, and I wanted to see if anything before Iris could be connected to heat being triggered. I've also seen and heard of folks becoming dragons and foxes after interacting with other peoples here, outside the city. These interactions could be linked to the abnormal, unique changes.

Two things:
1. THIS APP DOES NOT COLLECT YOUR DATA. There is no way to send it via the app, either. It's basically a digital moon phase journal for you, stored locally on your device. So you don't have to worry about nosy people going in and getting it, unless they physically pick up your device. The app has a password option on it, if you want. Privacy guaranteed, from someone who was a blackhat hacker.
2. It's pretty simple right now because I'm still learning how to code using this planet's tech and systems. It gets the job done just fine, and yes, I have added simple themes to make it pretty. You can change the colors.

If you're interested in using the Moon Phase Log app, click the following link and run the installer. It'll run you through customization options.

I'm very personally interested in how people change and how these things interact, but I'm a mechanical engineer and computer person, so it's not really my field.

Hopefully this will help people individually! Feel free to message me directly with anything, I'm always around. I also accept voluntary data, though again, this isn't my exact field.

Good luck to the new wave of Moonblessed as well! ヽ(〃･ω･)ﾉ

Extraordinary idea. I've just arrived and I have to admit, I've been anxious about these 'changes'. Tracking them for data collection would be a relief. As well as a pet project for downtime, at the very least.

Although you mentioned... going into 'heat'?

[codecmoment]

Yes, some people have asked about that part. I don't talk about it, but I think it is important to acknowledge what can happen to Iris people.

It's exactly like animals.

[harnas]

I see.

This is quite a strange planet, isn't it?

[codecmoment]

It's... I have a lot of feelings and opinions on it. I'm one of the first Moonblessed, and it's been months. I still don't know how to feel.

But I do what they want. I lace. I deal with what happens to me.

[harnas]

That's really all you can do, is it? Adapt. It doesn't seem all bad, at least. There seems to be a good amount of solidarity.

[codecmoment]

That part is what I'm enjoying most - not feeling alone or stuck having to figure it all out by yourself. Which is why I try to be a little helpful voice here on the network. I've actually met some neat people through just replying to people here!

But... yeah. If you're new, be prepared. Do you know what you are yet? If you have no changes now, you're not Sanguis - the red moon comes out the first four days of every month, then Cordis, then Iris, then all three. Kinda sucks being Iris, because you're changed for five+ days in a row.

[harnas]

Well, I do appreciate your hard work, Otacon. 🎶 Then again, I have a soft spot for data collection and analysis.

I haven't had a reaction yet. Iris lasts longer than the other moons? Why is that?

[codecmoment]

[ YES someone else uses emoji. ]

You're welcome! (・ω・)b I know it's frustrating to not be collecting it from users, but I value privacy and understand it's none of my business. I just ask folks and they talk, honestly.

It's not that it lasts longer, it's that the moon rises and then all three come out right after - it's been like that for months. So when Iris would fade, it stays up, now, but the other two come out as well.

[harnas]

[you want emoji, 'cause he's got emoji]

The progression of science can be fickle. The rules seem somewhat bent here, as well. But people tend to cooperate much more when it comes to mysteries such as this.

A triple moon-rise. That sounds fascinating to watch. I take it all of the 'moonblessings' are active then?

[codecmoment]

They sure are. The first time was pretty scary, because everyone went really nuts. But it's been fine since! It's interesting to see how people react differently to others when they're both changed. Iris are calming and smell "sweet," based on my experiences.

[harnas]

I imagine! I think I've gotten the basics of how these moonblessings work now, and I'm curious to see what this place has in store for me.
I can't imagine it's worse than anything that's happened back home, at least.

[codecmoment]

Depends on how you view it, I guess.
I find it freeing in one way.
