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
Does 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?

They are also easy to build - you need one primitive: basic text storage, although scheduled push notifications are great to have. No need to sync stuff, no sharing/permission model, no scale issues you can’t solve with a b-tree SQLite index.
I think another factor is an increase in productivity-lifestyle content influencers, the sort of people who talk about Notion on TikTok. Speaking of Notion there’s like a zillion user-created habit tracker templates for Notion too. I work at Notion but don’t use it daily outside of work.
Congrats, 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.
This is true for every app with IAP. It’s how I typically decide if I’ll download an app with IAP.
APP NAME - Three Cells: Your Life System Some history: A couple of days ago my app finally got approved and released on app store. Overall really happy with the release. Now I finally have something that I use every single day. Whereas previously I was using various different apps to journal, track habits, track my weight and manage tasks etc. Now I have all of that in one place. Initially it was a website that I bui…
Impressive work for a solo effort. Would love to see less front loading on the registration side - I fell off onboarding because I couldn’t get through the 12(!) page questionnaire. The value proposition is clear, just let me use the app. Notes (my current solution for this) doesn’t make me read summaries of other people’s research every time I open the app :-)

I agree. And I dont understand how this isn't a universal rule for all of software: let the user use the thing ASAP. Just let me fucking play with it instead of forcing me to read intros, watch videos, click through a tutorial, etc. Just let me explore and interact! And only then also offer me some guidance that I can jump in and out of.
FWIW: 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".

Usually what happens is a lot of other people in the world also feel the same way as me and if they like how I have approached the app then they would download it and use it and I think that's how you get a lot of different types of habit trackers coming up all the time

My take is that the right workflow for people is quite varied. Everyone wants something that’s low friction and will keep them engaged but these daily behaviors are fundamentally high friction habits, so existing solutions are rarely satisfying in the long run.

I agree. I've been tempted lately to write my own local todo + notes + calendar app that fits the way I think about tasks and time. Kind of like developing a software glove for ones mental model. It's no wonder there are so many "gloves" in this space, everyone's model is unique.
