Show HN: I built BodyCount to track my 'score' but found deeper meaning

Originally built this to answer a simple question: what's my actual body count? Started as a fun way to get a final "score" of intimate encounters, but it evolved into something much more meaningful.

After inputting my data, the visualization revealed patterns I'd never noticed. Seeing my romantic history mapped out geographically and temporally made me genuinely reflect on the who, when, where, and why behind each connection. What began as casual tracking became a tool for sexual self-awareness.

Technical features:

- Geographic visualization of encounters across countries/cities - Temporal analysis showing patterns over time - Statistical breakdowns and trend analysis - Privacy-first architecture

The unexpected outcome: it's making me more intentional about who I add to the "list." Having to consciously input each new connection creates a moment of reflection that didn't exist before.

The technical challenge was making intimate data feel empowering rather than clinical, focusing on personal growth insights rather than just numbers.

Currently have accounted for 77 connections/romantic moments with women from 22 nationalities. Looking for feedback on the concept – has anyone else found that quantifying personal experiences leads to better self-awareness?
