Great work! My favorite two apps: Great Words & Routines. 2 problems I always have and you've solved em! I only wish I could create iOS apps as fast as you haha.

Thanks! Hope you find them useful

Great work! Now the question is how to find a way to do this sustain-ably (:

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for making Great Words!!! I've gone through dozens of word apps and none could do this. I was about to buy a dev license to make it myself, glad you saved me the effort. :)

This is very cool -- thank you for sharing.

Would you mind sharing the data source(s) you used for the Do Something app? Curious about both what resources are out there and how easy they are to integrate.

Do Something uses the Foursquare API to pull out their most popular places. It was pretty easy to set up.

I like the thinking behind routines. Each of these apps seems to solve a problem that you had but that quite a lot of other people also likely had.

I'd love to see a follow up showing how these apps did for you.

Agreed with all positive comments -- very inspiring and impressive! I'm planning to download Do Something & Great Words. Do you mind sharing how much time each of the apps required proportionally?

And what API do you use for Word app?
