$25 a day is $600 a month. Not exactly "measly" for mostly passive income.
Not measly at all. Bought me Chipotle every day. But in the startup world where we hear daily about multimillion dollar deals, $25 is measly.
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.
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.
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?

Haha same with me man. My cycle is 1. come up with an idea 2. buy a domain for said idea 3. repeat step 1 It wasn't until very recently that I made the very obvious discovery of "the only way I'll ever make it is to make it". I discovered that entrepreneurship is not about coming up with ideas, it's about bringing those ideas to life. I wrote about this epiphany here: http://bitar.io/the-entrepreneur/ PS: I'll change…
Loved the second article too. A bit like the saying "Writers write." I keep looking for that point when I get lost in my work, a state of flow, and I abandon anything that doesn't take me there. Maybe it's not just about inspiration, or getting into the zone, but just doing it. Great blog you've got there. Why, oh why, did all you cool kids stop using RSS? :-)
It takes me too much time to get the UI (and they're never works of art anyway), screenshots, app store description, not to mention the final polish.

This is really inspiring, man. Great work, and good luck. I might do one of these solo hackathons myself, given all the stuff I have floating in my head that never gets to see the light of day. Sort of reminds me of http://hackalone.org - a "hackathon for introverts", which was shared on HN a while back. I normally just end up buying domain names and sitting on them, until I get a notification a year later reminding…

Thanks! Do Something took the longest of all of them since that had custom UI. But the other 3 I did something funny. I started with Note 22, and after I finished that, I duplicated the entire Xcode project and refactored it into Routines. It's a lot of the same code. I then duplicated that entire project and refactored into Great Words. Although the main features are different, the underlying architecture is very si…

Was going to say the same thing, basically I do a variant of this when camping, adding to the list of things I missed or forgot, so that by the time I've done the first few camping trips of the season I've refreshed my memory of all the things I need. I built a list in Trello which I've been adding too but it would be handy to have a non-online way to note something which got added back to the routine once I was in c…
