Actually, the web application already exists to a great degree.

The big tasks left are:

  • Set up something to generate metadata like the jump from storing a value that says "ate at restaurant" and having a bit go to True that corresponds to "ate in Los Angeles County".
  • Do the actual Bayes classification or data analysis

Why not use a big XLSX?

It's really hard to enter data into an XLSX on a smartphone. Also, I guess you can say that a MySQL database table has a lot of similarities with a spreadsheet so, in that way, I am.
