i got so influenced by this book that I wrote an app based on this book https://atomiclife.app
Nice app. Did you write it in React Native or Flutter?

> Optionally, you can save your habits to a shared location or cloud How do you do this bit? Is it documented anywhere? (or maybe I'm missing the obvious)
Try import in-place: https://xenodium.com/flat-habits-v101-org-import-menu
Aha! I tried the export menu didn't look at the import option
Nice one :)
For the sake of sharing I'm looking at setting it up the same as my Obsidian dir from here. Get it all chucked into git using the synced dir option in Working Copy, and a pair of Shortcuts to resync the git repo whenever I open/close the app (just the on close one if it doesn't play nicely with the file changing after opening the app)
e.g. https://img.imgy.org/rAxr.jpg plus a shortcut triggered by app close to run this shortcut

I too would love an android app.
I've tried a few and this is my favorite habit tracker app on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uha... Ad-free and FOSS: https://github.com/iSoron/uhabits
Oo I'll give this a shot. Thanks so much!

#125I always go way too late to bed, reading hacker news all night, and wake up late and exhausted as a consequence. First impressions of this blog post are good, going to think of ways to change my identity and behavior, and report back in a month or so with the outcomes here.
I’ve managed to cut news out of my life entirely. Nothing really changed, except the extra free time. Hacker news is not really any different, it is just easier to justify as “I might find something useful here”. But all I achieved here is fav & forget smart sounding articles, and point whored at the comment section for easy dopamine. It’s a trap.
And still you are here

#126I loved reading Atomic Habits during the first lockdown. I was excited to try out its actionables, specially tracking to keep me honest. I tried a bunch of iOS apps, but wanted no friction, no tracking, no cloud, no social, etc. so eventually built https://flathabits.com . Also wanted to own my habit data (as plain text), so I made sure Flat Habits stored its data locally as an org file. I'm an Emacs nutter and can s…
I've been struggling in finding the right way to track my habits from apps to notepad. Thank you for this seems like it will definitely help me focus!

#127I've been having major issues reading books (mainly non-fiction and strategy and personal development oriented) due to what I feel to be "filler content" as mentioned in the thread above. I'd be very interested in authors (I mean book authors) to provide direction on the mindset and shortcomings of the summary culture (e.g. Blinkist et-al) Surely, every 10th article on my FB feed is about reading books and there is p…
I read close to 70 books last year and learned to skim all the filler by scanning down the page, reading a paragraphs first sentence until I get past the filler. Or I skip complete sections/chapters based on their titles. Business books all follow a formula with clear chapter descriptions and authors guide to content in the intro. I haven’t found summaries valuable because it’s not always the authors main point that sparks ideas for me.
