The calendar let's you mark days from one the habit was created, instead of any day in the past

I haven't really thought about launching an app. Currently you could download the webpage as an app on your home screen. I wonder if a native app would be more useful

I also think steaks can be a good motivator, but it can be quite demotivating if you accidentally lose a long streak. That was the idea with the freezes, to still have the motivation element but try to cut out any of the annoyances that come with streak. They get automatically used, but as long as you complete at least one day before they run out, the number of freezes reset.

In terms of your situation when you had to travel, you could also pause the app. That way when you get back, you'd pick up right where you left off without losing anything. I don't think these ideas cover every scenario, so there may still be room for improvement

Currently yes. The main idea was to have something to build good small habits that you do daily. So no current way to change frequency.

You could technically do up to every 4 days since you'll still be able to keep your streaks using the freezes

Thank you! The data is always stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB.

If you login, it'll sync your local data with a remote server. I am currently using the free tier subscription for this syncing. May need to upgrade later on

Thanks! I wanted to have something that could serve as motivation but not detract from the idea of building consistent habits and this does seem to work well

Thank you! The hosting and storage solutions are free forever so they'll stay up. Even if those get shutdown or something (unlikely), the app works fully offline so you'd still be able to use it

I guess they get fuzzy on some different devices. When I was making it, picture was like the first thing I thought of so I just went with that. but definitely having the component there sounds way better

Oh interesting, that's why I added the "freeze" feature to help avoid feeling "required" to go on the app every day. But maybe it requires some more customization to account for wider cases

This is really cool. I definitely like the expansive stat tracking. The weekly report is a really nice touch. gives you a chance to reflect on your progress.

I don't use Google Calendar often, so it took me a while to get the tracking part to work, but it worked flawlessly once I understood about the event naming

Thank you! this should be fixed, I didn't realize ios had a zoom in feature like this. There was also an issue with the overflow not working on ios, which is also fixed
