A tool to parse and analyze drug logs, for science.

Uses a domain-specific language for manual entry of drug doses and accompanying journal/plaintext entries in a flexible textual format, which can then be used to analyze use of drugs/supplements/pharmaceuticals. Input on phones/touch devices is surprisingly efficient when used with sentence-predicting keyboards (like Swiftkey etc).

Built with parsimonious (to parse notes) and pint (to handle units).

Pronounced: Q-Slang

To install, simply run:

pip install git+https://github.com/ErikBjare/QSlang.git

You should now have a qslang command available, or if you don't have your PATH configured, you can run it with python3 -m qslang.

$ qslang --help
Usage: qslang [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  QSlang is a tool to parse and analyze dose logs, for science.

Options:
  -v, --verbose
  --testing      run with testing config & data
  --help         Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  effectspan       print effect spans
  events           print list of all doses
  plot             plot doses over time in a barchart
  plot-calendar    plot doses in a calendar
  plot-effectspan  plot effect spans in a barchart
  plot-influence   plot percent of time spent under effects of a substance
  substances       print list of substances
  summary          print summary of doses for each substance

For setup & configuration, copy config.example.toml to config.toml and edit as appropriate.

QSlang can read data from:

• Directory with plaintext-files (as created by standardnotes-fs)
  • How to: Put your notes in a folder, or use standardnotes-fs (deprecated) to mount your notes the same directory. Set the data.standardnotes_export key to the file path in config.
• Standard Notes export (unencrypted)
  • How to: create an unencrypted export and unzip the SN Archive.txt file (keep its default name). Set the data.standardnotes key to the folder path in config.
• Evernote (enex files)
  • How to: export the notebooks you want to analyze as .enex file. Then put all the exported notebooks you want into ./data/private. Then run make data/private/Evernote to extract the .enex into markdown files (which will be put into data/private/Evernote/).

Then run qslang --help to get further usage instructions.

This is the expected format of notes, I've tried to make it lenient/flexible parser but might write a stricter one in the future to avoid ambiguous parsing.

Basic example:

# 2018-04-14

07:32 - 2000IU Vitamin D3 + 5g Creatine monohydrate + 200mg Magnesium (from citrate)

08:10 - ~2dl Green tea + 10g Cocoa

12:54 - ~2dl Green tea

16:30 - Started working on QSlang
