I started down the path of building a narrower version of this to track my personal activity. The syntax was a similar date log format (time optional) but it was unit aware and it used commas for labels. Example:

    2023-27-06 Walked 2 miles, cloudy day, felt good
That would parse to the following object:

{date: "2023-27-06", activity: "Walked", measurement: {value: 2, unit: "miles"}, labels: ["cloudy day", "felt good"]}

The idea was to eventually generate a static site with automatic graphs and tables but I eventually just switched back to a spreadsheet. It is hard to beat a spreadsheet for flexibility.
