What is the reasoning behind the pricing model? 2.99 weekly but only 29.99 for lifetime?

#22FWIW: Your initial proposition, "Your days are slipping away." is a negative framing. Maybe this is a good way of appealing to people's fears, but I thought it was depressing and was not eager to read more. An alternative could be something like "Make the most of your days".
I think that I have heard or read "Make the most of your days" in various ads and inspirational motivators too many times. It is something that makes me ignore whoever is saying it, because it was overused by everyone else.

#23This looks nice! Do you plan to build integrations to do some fitness auto-tracking? For example apple fitness, or garmin connect?
Haha funny that you mention that because yeah I would like to have that in the future. it would be nice to have all my Strava data synced into this sometime in the future

If I'm honest I haven't thought about it fully yet but atm I felt comfortable enough to give access for 29.99 forever. And if users don't want to spend that much and maybe only want to try it for a couple of weeks then they can get on the weekly plan with a free trial

#25Off topic, anyone building Duolingo alternative? I find the duolingo course very slow paced, gems and gamifications are just bad.
If it is too slow paced for you, then you are not looking for duolingo alternative. You are looking for something entirely different. The whole Duolingo deal is fun, relaxing, low effort learning in exchange for slower progress.
And of course there are competitors, many of them. There are also many free language learning resources. But, you did not said which language you are learning and whether you are beginner or not. And most of free resources are made for specific language.

#26Congrats, maghfoor. But the lack of price transparency is a real turn-off. Nothing on the website or in the App Store — you have to download the app to find out how much it will cost you.

#27Is "Duolingo for X" supposed to be a good thing?
Duolingo is just another mobile game, but pretending to be a learning app.

#29Earlier quoted context omitted.
Dude, that is so true. I think I agree with you and your reframing. Going to change it to that
And just like that, changed it in under 1min. Beauty of web dev.
you should reconsider, make the most if your days sounds like new years resolution that will end by the time you run of of ham

#30Does anyone know what makes habit trackers such a trendy project in the last few years? In a world of possibilities, why do so many people make so many habit trackers?
