I haven't really thought about launching an app. Currently you could download the webpage as an app on your home screen. I wonder if a native app would be more useful

I also think steaks can be a good motivator, but it can be quite demotivating if you accidentally lose a long streak. That was the idea with the freezes, to still have the motivation element but try to cut out any of the annoyances that com

Currently yes. The main idea was to have something to build good small habits that you do daily. So no current way to change frequency. You could technically do up to every 4 days since you'll still be able to keep your streaks using t

Thank you! The data is always stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB. If you login, it'll sync your local data with a remote server. I am currently using the free tier subscription for this syncing. May need to upgrade later on

Thanks! I wanted to have something that could serve as motivation but not detract from the idea of building consistent habits and this does seem to work well

Thank you! The hosting and storage solutions are free forever so they'll stay up. Even if those get shutdown or something (unlikely), the app works fully offline so you'd still be able to use it

I guess they get fuzzy on some different devices. When I was making it, picture was like the first thing I thought of so I just went with that. but definitely having the component there sounds way better

Oh interesting, that's why I added the "freeze" feature to help avoid feeling "required" to go on the app every day. But maybe it requires some more customization to account for wider cases

This is really cool. I definitely like the expansive stat tracking. The weekly report is a really nice touch. gives you a chance to reflect on your progress. I don't use Google Calendar often, so it took me a while to get the tracking

The scroll and zoom issues on ios should now be fixed

Thank you! this should be fixed, I didn't realize ios had a zoom in feature like this. There was also an issue with the overflow not working on ios, which is also fixed

Thanks for the feedback, I updated the text. My intention behind "try for free" was to keep the barrier for trying out the app low. But I didn't realize that it would also imply a hidden price or some premium level

I like the design, very clean. For the past days, if you click the 3 dots next to the checkbox, there's an option to add checks for previous days using the calendar

Thanks for the feedback! I'll have to debug for safari, not sure what the issue is

That's a great idea, thanks. The data is stored locally on the browser using IndexedDB so everything works offline. If you login, it'll sync your data with a remote server. I haven't really thought about monetization as this

Thanks! I'll spend some time debugging on safari and see what the issue is
