Do you do any simple experiments? Or track things and analyse them? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Recently downloaded the phyphox from F-Droid and thought about this while thinking about what all stuff I could do with it.

Are there any online resources about such stuff?

What all things have you(or people you know, in your locality etc) done along that line?
And not only big thigs, if you're tracking other stuff, please do share your experience on that too.

Edit:
Sharing the github page of the app too:

Cool.
If possible, could you share your inferences from it?
Like how the prices of products are connected or which product is affected most/least?

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't really run analysis on the numbers. I just use them when I'm shopping to see if a price is good or not.

I have noticed that at least here in Denmark, it never makes sense to buy butter if it's not on sale, and some sales are still priced badly.

So butter is expensive in Denmark? What is your baseline?

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The good price is 60 DKK per kg, though that price is rare. 80 is more realistic and common.

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Where did you get that 60 dkk number from? If 80 is common wouldn’t that be the baseline?

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 1 points 3 weeks ago

I write down the best price I've seen, so it's not necessarily a common price. But I feel like the lowest price something has been sold for recently is a good baseline to compare sales against.
