There seems to be a minor bug of some sort in the habit list. I've been using http://dontbreakthechain.com/ so I added 6 of the habits I've got on there. Now lift is only displaying 2 of my habits on the home screen. If I click on my name at the bottom it shows the stat graphs for all 6. Ah, ok, I quit the app and killed it, restarted it and now they're back.

Sorry about that. Each mew version has had a lot of networking improvements. We just submitted an upgraded version to the App Store review process today, so you should have a closer-to-rock-solid version in about a week.

How do I add a habit that doesn't already exist?

Tap the plus button and search for the habit you want to form. If it doesn't exist it will popup with a row saying "Habit name, 0 participants". Tap that and you will join that habit.

Ahh. Makes sense, but the habit I want is a substring of an existing habit.

I tried Lift out, and though it does seem that there it has a place for a some audiences, unfortunately I am not one of them. A few gripes (I understand that Lift.do just released, so some of these concerns may be premature) 1. It's binary - in that you workout or you don't, you sleep 8 hours or you don't. My needs are a bit different - I want to be able to log how much I do of something. For e.g. drinking water - I…

Give it a go anyway. I had the same thoughts as you when I first started using it but after using the beta for a few months, the binary classification is freeing rather than restricting.

Hmm ... Well I still haven't given up on Lift :) I plan on using it for a short while - as I said, I see good things for Lift.

Ooh, have you tried http://beeminder.com ? It tracks arbitrary data and has had export from day one. We even now have streaming export where you can enter a callback URL and mirror all the data Beeminder gets to your own server in real time.

Thanks dreeves. I have not heard of beeminder - I will have to try it out. Appreciate the pointer.

+1 for export. It's coming.

Good to know. I will keep an eye out out for it.

On a completely unrelated note I am really liking your blog :) Keep up the good work.

I really love how only 'approved' activities are allowed. As a joke we tried adding 'toke' but the app doesn't allow you to add that habit. It did allow someone to add 'fuck bitches'. Classy, and just a little fascist.
