It isn’t a bad deal at $30 but it’s just enough for me to go “oh” and not really open the app/push through.

#52Does 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?

#53Off topic, anyone building Duolingo alternative? I find the duolingo course very slow paced, gems and gamifications are just bad.

#54Is "Duolingo for X" supposed to be a good thing? Duolingo is just another mobile game, but pretending to be a learning app.

#57Congrats, 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.
So how much is it for those of us non iOS people?
> Three Cells Weekly $2.99
> Lifetime Access to Three Cells $29.99
> Three Cells Weekly $2.99
The ratio here feels a bit off, $155.48/y or $29.99 for life screams "trying to push you to pay a lot for an app I know you won't stick with" rather than "we've got great value options for any type of user". There is a 7 day trial as well, so even more confusing as to which kind of user is supposed to want the weekly payment.

I think so. Duolingo for X means low friction, lots of positive feedback, and probably more healthy then doomscrolling

It's a dark pattern. Would you also call it "sensitive" to want to be able to cancel a subscription without going through 3 pages, filling out a form, and convincing a call center worker?
